Weekly News: Q4W11 May 26-29

Hello, Kindergarten Griffins!

We've made it to the last week of such a wonderful year, and the time sure flew by!

This week we will continue sending books and supplies home little by little in your child’s backpack – please check backpacks daily to empty out the materials and lighten their load. Thank you!

Promotion: Wednesday, May 28th

Ceremony Times: 

8:30- 10:00 am

KA- Brown/Barrantes

KB- Quick/McConnell
 

10:15 – 11:45 am

KC- Solano/Williams

KD- Ash/Krauss

Each ceremony will conclude with light refreshments for the families and scholars to enjoy before the students return to class.  

All scholars will need to arrive at school on time as usual, and we will have our regular mid-morning/afternoon schedule following the ceremonies.  Great Hearts scholars will complete academic lessons through the last day of school, including assessments, so we will have lessons and activities planned for the remainder of our ceremony day. Please do not take your child home after the ceremony.
