Things are getting exciting in 6th grade. Students have been working hard for months to prepare for the 2nd Annual Night at the Museum. Projects are coming together so don’t forget to make time to come check them out this Friday night! More information below!
Our Yellow Team field trip will be held on May 16th. We will be visiting the Wonders of Wildlife museum in Springfield. The cost to students will be about $12. More information will be sent home at a later date, but we wanted families to be aware of the cost as far in advance as possible.
As temperatures begin to warm, we would appreciate it if you would review the school’s standard dress code as outlined in the student handbook in the front of the agenda. Each year at this time, shorts and tanktops come out of the closet and are sometimes out of dress code. Students in violation of the dress code will be asked to change. Please review this with your students to help reduce the number of dress code violations and calls home to change clothes.
Spring pictures are Tuesday. All students will be photographed, so be sure to choose a background on the order form that was sent home. You will receive picture proofs at a later date. At that time, you’ll be able to choose whether you purchase pictures.
Parent-teacher conferences are this week. There’s still time to sign up if you have questions about your child’s progress this year. Contact your child’s homeroom teacher.
There will be no clubs, tutoring or late bus this week due to parent-teacher conferences. (*Track and Field Club WILL meet as usual.*)
