Dear McGovern families,
Due to the forecast for tomorrow, we are postponing our "Walk to School Day" that was planned for tomorrow morning. We are rescheduling the event for Friday, October 28, 2022. We did not include a rain date on the original permission slip, so please complete this electronic permission slip as soon as possible, but no later than Friday, October 14, 2022. This will give us ample time to plan the rescheduled event. If you have any questions, please reach out to your child's teacher.
