Parents,
Students are receiving a grade for getting
their sewing supplies to class on time.
This grade is taken to encourage responsibility in the students. If your child’s pillowcase will not be in
class on time, please contact me.
Arrangements may be made to help & to have your child’s supplies on
time if I get notice before January 11. I can be contacted for questions or concerns
at 324-2236 ext. 6516 or by email: WoodardK@mustangps.org I will get back to you as soon as
possible. Thanks!
