Team Courage

Welcome!

Upcoming Activities:

Now:  Send a self-addressed, stamped LEGAL envelope (long envelope) to your child's homeroom teacher if you want the final report card to be mailed home.  Otherwise, you will have to come to the school to pick it up the week after school gets out (pick up date will be given later).  Report cards will NOT be given out the last day of school.  If your child owes any money to the school, the report card will not be released until the fine is paid (lunch/library/missing books).

Friday, May 25th:  Stop Hunger Now, after lunch.  See flyer sent home, Monday, May 7th.  Visit www.stophungernow.org and www.stophungernow.org/ecms for more details.
