Monday Message 5/18

Good Morning Lowell Families,

Spring is a busy season for Lowell families.  I know families are busy with activities outside of school.  In school students are working on projects and lots of special activities are being planned for classes.  If you plan to chaperone a field trip or volunteer on Field Day (June 11th), parents must fill out a CORI form.  CORIs take about two weeks to complete and are valid for three years.  Please fill out a CORI early if you plan to volunteer.

Early Release Wednesday, May 20th
This Wednesday, May 20th is an early release day.  Students will be released at 12:15.  Lunch will be served in the morning.  There will be no Courses for Kids (Circus class is not meeting).  The Recreation Department will run All Sports from 12:15-1:15.
