 | Hadley is pretty much the model student. Ms. Pitt is the kind of teacher who wants you to call her by her first name. Hadley wishes Ms. Pitt would stick to her lesson plan. Ms. Pitt wishes Hadley would lighten up. So when Hadley and Ms. Pitt find themselves switched into each other's bodies, the first thing they want to do is switch right back. It takes a family crisis, a baffled principal, and a (double) first kiss to help them figure out that change can be pretty enlightening. Even if it is a little freaky! |

Book Exchange will replace Spring Book Fair
Do you ever wish that you could swap books with another family? Have you purchased books from the Book Fair that were read once and are now sitting on the shelf unused? Then you will love our Spring Book Exchange.
This Spring, during conference week, instead of a Book Fair, we will be trying a Book Exchange. The details are still being worked out, but basically, families can donate books to our school and receive donated books in exchange. So start saving your books and look for updated information soon.

 | No Cell Phones or other electronics at schoolBecause cell phones are disruptive to learning in our classrooms, students may not use cell phones at school. Cell phones that are turned off, may be stored in a student's backpack for use after school. This includes: iPods, MP3 players, and handheld games such as Gameboy and DS. Electronics will be confiscated and parents will be called to pick them up in the office. |
 | For the safety of our students and your pets, please do not bring your pets onto school property. If you bring the family dog with you to pick up your son or daughter, please keep your pet in the car. For student safety, it is important that we follow this new guideline. We love pets as well, but we cannot risk student safety at any time. Thanks for your understanding and support. |
