Dear Parents,
Welcome to the Busy Bee notebook. A Busy Bee notebook holds everything you and your child need to keep updated on classroom and school events! No more lost notes, lost homework, or lost lunch money. EVERYTHING a student and parent needs is in one notebook.
Why is it important to have? This notebook helps students establish good organizational skills as well as teach them responsibility. It is a wonderful way to keep communication open between the teacher and parents.
Thanks, Mrs. Beggs
