Swann Lion Times
Your Weekly Update about our Lion Pride!
Quarter 3 Begins on Monday!
- Report cards will go home on Feb. 7. These will include their report card, NWEA score reports, and attendance letters for students who have missed more than three days of school so far. Make sure to ask your student for their reports!
- New Encore classes begin on Monday! If your student would like to change their classes, they should fill out the form provided by our counselors. Decisions will be made based on student needs and space in classes. The deadline to submit Encore change forms is Friday, Feb. 3.
What Our Lions Are Learning
In 7th grade, our Lions are studying reproduction in Science, rational number arithmetic in Math, the WWI in Social Studies, and beginning their mystery unit in ELA.
In 8th grade, our Lions are learning about industrialization in Social Studies, beginning their science fiction unit in ELA, studying how energy flows through an ecosystem in Science, and working with linear equations in Math.
See if your Lion can tell you about the activities they've done to master their standards!
