CLASS UPDATE!

First off, thank you to all the parents that have already shown up to volunteer. You are making a huge impact and are truly helping me juggle two sets of curriculum effectively. Parents who are class volunteers/drivers: Please get your Fingerprints done this week at Rio. As Mrs. Dorney stated in the message, you can get your prints done for free any day this week. I recommend getting your TB test as well this week as we are going on our field trip the following Thursday, September 12th. The good news is that this is a one-time process and once completed, you should be cleared to be a volunteer at Rio/Aptos Jr. High/Aptos High School. Insurance paperwork is due to the office this Friday.

Here are the drivers for next week:

JJ Hamlyn (6)
Cheryl Johnson (5)
Stephanie Chamberlain (5)
Katie Cox (5)
Ben Slyder (4)
Tammy Abraham (5)
Amy Danish (4)
