Good Afternoon Families,

I hope this newsletter finds you and your family happy and healthy. It is hard to believe we are down to the last nine days for our eighth graders and thirteen for everyone else. This time of year is always my favorite. The excitement of summer is just around the corner, but between now and the end of school we have a lot going on. Please make sure that you are keeping up to date with the goings on by looking at the other information that Mrs. Nau has included in this newsletter.

Eighth grade parents - Please make sure that you are staying up to date on your student’s status for the week of promotion. There are certain expectations that your students must meet in order to go on the trip to Oaks Park on June 7, 2023. Students cannot be failing any of their classes or have any major referrals. If your student has received a major referral, then Mr. Olson will have made sure you are aware that they will not be attending the trip.

We are in the midst of planning our field day on June 14, 2023. This is always a lot of fun for our students and staff. We play different games and spend the day outside laughing and having a great time. It is always a wonderful way to send students off to summer vacation.

There are a lot of other activities planned at specific grade levels. Your individual teachers should be contacting and staying connected with you in order to keep you up to date with all the happenings. I’m looking forward to our last couple weeks of school. State testing is winding down and the students and staff are ready for a well deserved break. We still have learning to do. Don’t get me wrong. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel and we are coming upon it quickly.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Happy Memorial Day to everyone. Please remember the significance of this holiday. Many refer to it as a day to kick off their summer activities. Memorial Day commemorates all the men and women who have lost their lives while serving our great country, so please keep those families in your thoughts and prayers as you enjoy your long weekend.

Take care,

Mr. Proctor
