For the week of March 12th - 16th

The two week countdown to Spring Break has begun! It is crazy to think that 3rd quarter has ended and 4th quarter has started.  Speaking of grades . . .. 3rd quarter grades will be posted by Thursday, March 15th.  Make sure to have your student login to Infinite Campus and show you their grades.  Remember these are just the 1/2 way point grades.  In 6th grade we are on semesters.  Their final grades will be posted at the end of the year.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our 6th grade team. 

Here is what you can expect this week.

It is a full 5 day week :)

Book Orders
Book orders are due on Thursday of this week.  Please remember, I cannot take cash.  Payment must be in the form of checks or cards.  Card purchases can be made online.  This probably will be our last book order of the year.
