Well, whether we’re ready or not - it’s back to school on Monday.  I have to say that I thought of the students daily as we came across so many things we have been studying.  I wish they all could have come with us - it would have been an exciting and educational ‘field trip.’!!!  They’ll probably come home with some of the stories I am bound to share with them this week. :)

Test and quizzes will be as follows:

Tuesday - Science quiz
Wednesday - Language quiz, history quiz
Friday - History test

I will have all grades updated in Teacherease by the end of the day.  The 9 weeks ends this week and report cards will be given out at the parent-teacher conferences that are required after the end of the first 9 weeks.  I will send home a sign-up.  For the most part, the time slots will be during the school day, but if there is no way you can come during the day, please let me know and I’ll see what I can do.

The Boyd Orchards field trip is this Friday.  Permission slips and money are due on Wednesday.   Please make sure this is sent in timely so that your child may attend.  Parents and siblings are welcome to meet us there.  If your child had ordered hot lunch for that day - their lunch will be provided.  If not, please send a sack lunch with your child.

Hot lunch orders are due this week.  I emailed a copy to everyone in the event they did not get one - please let me know if you need another copy and I will send it to you.

Hope each of you enjoyed a relaxing, safe, and enjoyable break.  I am personally thankful for the much-needed rest, but am looking forward to seeing everyone this week!
