Progress reports:  I will not be sending home the usual weekly progress reports on Monday since the official school progress reports were sent out on Friday, September 11.

Camp forms were sent home and should be returned as soon as possible.  We need all forms by September 25th.  Please note, if your child takes any medication (even tylenol) you must have a signed doctor's note.  This can sometimes take a few days, so it would be best to get the form to your doctor ASAP.  Please also remember to attach a copy of both sides of your child's medical card.

Pancake breakfast tickets were sent home with the 6th graders on Thursday, September 2.  If you have not received yours, please check with your child.  Each 6th grader is responsible for 15 tickets.  This fundraiser goes toward the cost of camp.  All families who participate will benefit.  If you choose not to participate in this fundraiser, you will be expected to pay the entire $260 fee for camp.

We are on a different schedule this week due to ITBS (standardized testing).  Please be sure students are well rested and have breakfast before coming to school, so that they can perform at their best.
