Welcome back! We hope you had a great summer! Mrs. Ward and I are looking forward to an exciting year!

Our first day of school is Tuesday, September 2nd!

All you need for the first day is a snack, a backpack and a water bottle. We’ll have all the supplies here waiting for you. If you bought a few things you can bring them in, but we’ll have everything you’ll need.

Have any questions? You can email me at cstory@mvyps.org

Homework

We’ll have homework almost every M, T, W + Th. We will not send HW home on Friday. HW should take about 20 minutes or less. If it’s taking more time please let us know. Stuck on how to do something? Please write a note on the paper and we’ll go over it in class.

Every day you should…
