 Team Urban,

January Progress Reports went home today. Please sign and return.

I am happy to be back in class with all of the students. It is hard to believe that Spring Break is right around the corner. Please mark your calendars as February 21st is the last day to AR for the second trimester. Also, since second-trimester conferences are optional, for many, I will be sending out emails for individual private conferences if needed this trimester. 

Also, please remember that ILCS is a leadership school and we value service greatly. Your child is required to complete a service project and 8 hours of service. The project will be due the first week in May. Spring Break is a great time to complete service hours if needed.

Our class will have a small Valentine's Day celebration on Friday, February 14th from 12-1. Please know that your child does not have to distribute Valentine's cards, but if they choose to, they must include everyone in the class. There are 24 students in class.

ELA:
IAB Benchmark tests - Please send your child with extra snacks.
