IMPORTANT NOTES:



* I would like to thank all of the families that have sent in both supplies and snacks for the students.

* Please be sure to check your child's homework sheet every day.

* Please be sure that your child brings his/her vocabulary words back to school every day. We do activities with them every day. When we finish a reading book, all of the words from that book will come home.

* Please be sure that your child brings back any paper books that go along with the story or vocabulary words for the week. These stories are used every year.

I am excited about working with your children this year. I am looking forward to seeing them grow in their learning throughout this school year. If you have any questions or concerns, please call me at school (442-6330) or email me at hshuler@aiken.k12.sc.us.
