Announcements and Reminders:
*Don't forget to turn in all RED folders by Monday. Student Fees and summer reading lists should have been sent to school on the first day. If you have not turned those in yet, please get it in by Monday.
* The first two days of first grade were both exciting and busy! I look forward to settling into our new routine this upcoming week.
*Please allow 24 hours for me to return emails. I will try and respond as soon as I am able. I will do my best to promptly respond. Please do not email during the day regarding a change in carpool/dismissal. It is best to call the Lower School office and they will call me over the intercom because it is likely that I will not be at my computer and could easily miss that email.
*Thank you for choosing SCPS for your little one! It's a GREAT day to be a RAIDER!

Math:
We will take a PRACTICE timed test this week adding +1. Students will be given 20 problems to complete in 5 minutes. Be sure to practice math facts daily at home, too. It really helps!
