6th Grade Outdoor Education Camp Letter
This will not be an overnight camp. We will be busing the students from school to camp each day and then busing them back to school each evening. Students will need to be picked up each evening from North Tapps Middle School. On Monday October 3rd we will arrive back to school at 6:00pm. On October 4th we will arrive back to school at 8:00pm.
We are excited to bring the camp experience back for students. Camp is often the highlight of 6th grade and it is a great opportunity to bond with classmates and staff. While your child is at camp, they will take part in outdoor classes that include hikes, outdoor cooking, low ropes courses aimed around team building, art, and science classes. Teachers, para educators, counselors, and administrators all attend camp and teach our outdoor education classes.

Parent Tech Info Night Thursday, October 6th
Set your email notifications for grade reports in Schoology
In your Schoology parent account, you can customize how often you would like to receive an email grade report from Schoology. You can choose weekly or daily and select a time to receive a "Parent Email Digest." The Email Digest includes overall course grades, recent assignment grades, overdue submissions, upcoming events, and other recent activity.
You can also turn on/off Overdue Submission Emails. These overdue emails only include assignments that the teachers require to be submitted to Schoology. It does not include emails for overdue assignments that are turned in by hand to the teacher.
New parent account login credentials were emailed to parents the first week of school. If you did not receive your account information or you’re having trouble accessing your Schoology account, complete this Schoology Parent Account Help Form. Existing users will not be affected and did not receive an email.
