Happy November!

We are closing in on the end of the first semester. Report cards should be received in the mail prior to Thanksgiving. Please make sure you review your child's report card with your child. We do have after school help available from 2:30 until 3:00pm Monday through Thursday. Also there are homework tables from 3pm until 4pm. See the schedule below.

Enjoy the rest of November and please let me know if you need anything.

We have recently learned about a nationwide milk carton shortage, and as we always promise to do, we will adjust our routines to ensure your children are still well served.

Due to the new and widespread scarcity of half-pint milk cartons, it is possible we will have to start serving milk in cups with lids. We assure you that your children will receive milk at both breakfast and lunch, and they will receive the same amount as is usually served.

We appreciate your support, patience, and understanding as we navigate this new challenge.

We are planning a great trip on Tuesday, May 28th to Pittsburgh PA! This trip will first be offered to 8th grade students on a first come, first serve basis. If there are any additional seats on the bus we may open the trip up to 7th grade too. We have a minimum of 40 students and a maximum of 50 we can take on the trip.

The trip includes:

Roundtrip transportation on a coach bus

Boxed lunch

Dinner at Hard Rock Cafe

Admission to Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium

Admission to the Carnegie Science Center

All taxes and gratuities for driver

The total trip cost is $195.00. All payments will be made to First Choice Educational Tours LTD either with check, money order or credit card. All required registration forms must be completed with the deposit to secure your spot on the trip.

There will be an informational meeting on November 14th in Mrs. Smith’s room (314) after school for any students interested in attending the trip.

We had a few parents and several students work with us to revise the code of conduct. Thank you so much for the help. We really appreciate the support. The new code of conduct will be out soon. I encourage everyone to take a look at it when it does come out.
