For the week of November 6th - 10th

It was nice seeing you at the Student-Led Parent Teacher Conferences.  If you couldn't make it during that time and would still like to have a meeting, please email me a date and time that would work for you after school. 

We are in our 2 week countdown to Thanksgiving Break.  Here is what you can expect this week:

1.  It is College Application Week.  Although 6th grade has a few more years to think about what to do with their future, our school being a college prep school, celebrates College Application Week. At the middle school level, we focus on choosing to "go on".  Advisories will celebrate with decorating doors with Teacher's alma maters ( Go Griz!)  and  have a collegiate wear day.

2. Costa Rica

Yes! You heard right. I am planning an adventure field trip to Costa Rica for early summer of 2019.  If you are interested in learning more, please attend the informational meeting on Tuesday, November 14th in room 113 at 6pm.  The trip is open to students in 6th grade-12th grade, parents of students in those grades and alumni of Vision Charter.  

Hope to see you at the meeting!
