AR Incentive
As an effort to increase reading stamina and help motivate our students to read, the Language Arts department has implemented a reading incentive for the 2016-2017 school year. Students will have the opportunity to attend an extra bowling field trip if they meet their AR goal requirements this year. In order to be eligible for the AR field trip, students must meet their AR goal ALL four of the grading cycles. This is a challenging but attainable goal for all students. Please go over this incentive with your child, and encourage them to meet their goals every grading cycle. Our hope is that all students will be in attendance in May!
Daily Agendas
Agendas are used as a form of communication between home and school. Please check and sign them each night to keep track of homework, important news, events, and to receive notes specific to your child.
