Dear Parents and Guardians,
I hope you all has a restful, enjoyable winter break. Please ensure that your child(ren) complete homework independently each night. Please continue to do your part, and stay abreast of what your child is learning in school. Even on weekends and breaks, make sure that your child is reading, practicing math facts, visiting the library and/or educational websites, and reviewing flash cards on a daily basis.
From,
Ms. Calder
