* It has been a pleasure for Mrs. Lopez and myself to get to know your children. We have a great class and are looking forward to a wonderful year. Due to medical reasons, my year long maternity leave will begin today, Fri. 9/4 instead of my originally planned date of Fri. 9/18. I will keep Mrs. Lopez and the class posted on the arrival of the baby. Thank you all of your continued support as I leave and welcome Mrs. Lopez into a long term maternity leave position. She is a tremendous teacher and your children are so lucky to have her this year. Mrs. Lopez and I will continue to be in communication through out the year and she has a great team of 3rd grade teachers to help support her this year. It's going to be a Prairieview Perfect year!
