Back to School Information

Welcome Back Class of 2029!

We hope everyone had a great summer and are ready for 4th grade! We are thrilled to be your Room Parents for 2024-25, and are looking forward to another great year with everyone.

To kick things off, we’ve compiled the below list of important dates, so you can look ahead as you plan your year. While the list is not exhaustive, it includes important days for 4th grade that we thought might be helpful to flag ahead of time. This list will also live on our 4th Grade Page on the school website so you can refer to it throughout the year.

We will continue to use What’sApp for quick questions and reminders, but email will be the primary form of communication for important information. Please let us know if you have any questions at any time.

We look forward to seeing you all very soon!

Warmest,

Kristen Azevedo (kristenhg@gmail.com)
