CAMP FORMS
6th grade parents:  Camp forms are being sent home today, August 21.  They are not due until Sept. 19.  I am sending them out early because there is a lot to fill out.  Also, there is form to have signed by your child's doctor.  If they will need to take any medication at camp (even vitamins, tylenol, etc), they will need to have a signed doctor's form.  No medication will be dispensed at camp without this note on file.  Also, if your child uses an inhaler, please include that.  Even if they rarely need it, they may need it at camp when they are at a different elevation and doing different outdoor activities.  It is very important that they have it with them.  You will also need to copy your medical insurance card and attach it to the camp forms in the space provided.  I know this is a lot, but hopefully with sending the forms out now, it won't be too much of an inconvenience.



6th and 8th grade:

Please be advised that no credit will be given for late work.  We (the junior high teachers) are working hard to teach responsibility, and not let bad habits develop.  I have begun entering grades; you can check them on option C.  I will begin sending 6th grade weekly progress reports on Monday, August 27.  Please use the currently posted grades as a guide.  Remember we have only been in school for a week, so there is not a lot of work calculated in the grade yet.  It is a good indicator, if your child has missing work, that it is time to address this problem.  However, if they have one low score on an assignment, please do not panic.  They still have plenty of time to raise the grade.  Thank you so much for your support in this matter.
