Textbook Exchange
We will be exchanging our textbooks on Thursday, February 25- Friday, February 26. I will leave a bin out in front of the school with an envelope of materials that also contains their new books. You may come any time to pick up the materials and drop off their current textbook. I ask that you put your students name on a sticky note on their current textbook and place it in the bin with the envelopes. I will pull the bin inside the school by Friday at 3pm, so please make sure you exchange the book before then. If you need to make other arrangements, please let me know.
