Hello families!

I hope you enjoyed the long weekend and were able to do something fun with family. Make sure to look for your child’s progress report on Thursday, April 30th and reach out to your child’s teacher with any concerns/questions. Our bulldogs will be showing off their talents at the talent show on Thursday at Glenridge Middle.
Gratefully,
