The first day of school has come to an end! Hopefully all of the "ants" in 4M enjoyed their first day and have some happy moments to share at home.

I will post homework on the blog daily so that you may also have another source of reference.

Tonight's only homework is for parents/guardians! Being that we are starting a new school year, the kids went home with their folders filled of papers that mom, dad or another grown-up at home can fill out, sign and return. There are 7 papers in all that need to be returned. They are as follows:
*Emergency Contact
*Internet Use
*Automated Calling
*Early Closing
*Photo/Video Release
*Free/Reduced Lunch
*Student Insurance

Have a good night!
