Nora's Nook - Castro Announcements

Hello Tutors!

Last Day of Tutoring: Thursday, Dec. 20th will be our last day of tutoring for 2007. Tutoring will resume again on Monday, January 7th 2008.

Home Connections - Reading Recital: You are invited to attend our annual Reading Recital at Castro Elementary!  Because of the large number of students in YES Reading, we will be holding 2 recitals on Thursday, Dec. 6th, 2007

3:30-4:30 For Second and Third Graders

5:30 – 6:30 For Kindergarten, First, Fourth, and Fifth Graders

Please feel free to ask me in which session your student will be reading.

Holiday Gifts: At this time of the year, we know that some tutors enjoy getting a small gift for their students.  If you choose to do this, we ask that the gift be a book.  We have established this policy this year in order to create a fair system for all of our YES Reading students. 

Tutor Trainings : Here is a list of all of the Trainings in December and January. Please sign up in the binder, or let me know if you are able to attend one of these events.
