This week we will be finishing up iPad Bootcamp.  My conferences are scheduled for Monday and Thursday.  If you have not signed up for a conference yet, please do, there are many times available.  There are 1/2 days on Thursday and Friday.  Students will be dismissed at 11a.m.

Outdoor Ed is 2 weeks away.  Please have your child return their signed student contract  along with your payment.  Please send your payment in this coming week.  This will then give us a week to finalize our arrangements.

Book Projects and a 1/2 page summary are due Feb. 6th.  The new grammar pages are due on Feb.7th, due to our trip on the 10th.
Students need to continue to work on their academic fair notecards daily! The next check is Feb.18th and we expect a large jump in the number of cards that are to be completed. Students should have at least 50 or more.

Look forward to meeting with you!

This Week......

I have sent a few emails today so I will make this short.
Math Map Testing is this Tuesday in the am.
On Tuesday the outline for your child's topic is due and the rough draft of their argumentative paper.

Please make sure that you use the link I sent today to fill out the Health forms for Outdoor Ed. before Jan.31.  It is very important as the Learning Center needs them to start planning for special needs, and Nurse Jamie needs to download a copy and check over them as well. Checks should be made out to District 97 and sent to school with your child.
