Dear Families,
These last two days were long ones for our staff, but it was well worth it! We cherish the opportunity to meet the parents of our incredible students and partner with families to be able to provide the best possible education for our kids. Thank you to those of you who came to Parent Teacher Conferences! Also a big thank you to the PTA for arranging catered dinner for our teachers on both nights.
We appreciate your patience during the conferences as there were many parents trying to meet with teachers in a finite amount of time. If you didn't have enough time to meet with all the teachers you were hoping to, please keep in mind you can request a meeting with a teacher the last Thursday of every month after school. Contact your student's counselor if you would like to set that up.
Have a terrific fall break.
David / Mr. Luongo

Dates: Oct. 31, Nov. 7, 14, (no class Nov 21), 28, Dec. 5, 12, 19, Jan. 9, 16, 23 Celebration & Performance
Guitar and Songwriting: Music is a birthright! Our mission is to share that we are all creative beings with the capacity to make music. In this class, students will learn how to play basic chords on the guitar, listen to each other as an ensemble, and write original songs. It is open to students who have good strength and dexterity in their fingers and who are willing to play during the week outside of class, as we believe that practice makes progress. Students must bring their own acoustic guitar.

Outdoor Lab Parent Information
FOR 6TH GRADE FAMILIES: We are having an Outdoor Lab Parent Information Night on Monday, October 22, 2018 from 6:00-7:30 in the auditorium. Please plan on joining us as we will be going over important logistical items to get us ready for Outdoor Lab in January! Please make sure you know whom your student's Access teacher is. That's critical information to have for this information night, since the site they go to (Mount Evans or Windy Peak) will depend on which Access teacher they have. Sorry, there will be no changing sites for any students.
On Monday, students will receive a letter about the Outdoor Lab medication form during Access. Please look over it carefully to ensure we have appropriate information for your child on file at Outdoor Lab. The letter can be found electronically by clicking the button below.
