Your Daly Dose
1. There will be no school onTuesday March 1, to accommodate voters for the Primary Elections.
2. Please ask your child if he or she needs to replace any school supplies at this time (Highlighters, colored
pencils, and many students need another Math composition book!)
3. Students are reminded to dress for the weather, dressing in layers allows for easy adjustments as the
temperature changes.
4. If you read today’s Monday Memo, please draw an American Flag next to your initials in the planner tonight.
5. The Read-a-Thon continues this week and ends on Friday. We have set aside time for independent reading
each day in class, and I encourage you, as always, to have a set reading time for the students at home every
day. Please consider sending in a Read-a-Thon donation this week or make a donation online, using the new
super convenient online payment link!!
