Second Trimester Information...The second trimester started on November 24 and runs into February. Midterm is Januray 16th!

Please continue to check your child’s planner one time a week, signing it. Most students are doing a great job of turning in homework on time, however, if your child received and S- or N on their report card for turning in homework on time, please check nightly with them regarding homework status. Our goal is to get the sixth graders to self-monitor so they will be ready for 7th grade.

Book-It and AR Reading...If your child is at or beyond his or her AR goal at the end of each month, he or she is also eligible for a Book-It certificate which can be redeemed for a free personal pan pizza at Pizza Hut. Book-It runs from October through March.

Winter Wear...All students are required to wear boots after the first snowfall until an announcement is made in the spring (it is not necessarily after a melting as the weather is still cold and the ground too wet- thus an announcement will be made). If students choose to play in the snow or to be sitting on the ground, then they should wear snow pants as well. Snow pants are recommended, but not required for sixth graders if they choose the play on the tar and to keep dry. Start reminding your child to bring coats, hats and gloves!
