Welcome To Mrs. Olsen's Room

Welcome to Mrs. Olsen and Miss Milbrandt's
3rd Grade Classroom!!!!!

We are really looking forward to a great year with each of you in 3rd grade! Miss Millbrandt (your student teacher for the fall) and I can't wait to meet you on Monday, August 24th for Prairieview's Open House from 9-11 am.
Please bring your school supplies and a big smile!

This is our weekly newsletter blog site. I will email you each Friday when I post my weekly newsletter. I will also email you when any changes are made during the week. Please check here often to see what's coming up and what to expect in our classroom.
Looking for copy parent volunteer! I am looking for a copy parent to volunteer his/her time each week for an hour to help with copying and stapling. This will be a weekly duty, so it can be shared with more than one parent. It will be the same time slot each week. Please let me know if you are available to help and we can find a time that works! Thank you in advance for your help-it makes our school year run smoothly! Please email me at eolsen@ccsd66.org
