Progress Report Time
We have already hit the 1/2 way mark on the 1st marking period. Progress Reports are due October 8 to be shared with parents. You can notify parents that updates in Power School are available on October 8 and/or send a copy of a progress report home to verify parents receive the report. If there are students with progress concerns, sending the paper copy home to sign and return is an option.
We have our Color Run this week as well! Last year Mrs. Smith's class was the classroom winner with the highest donations. We have two students, in two different grades, who have each raised $850! Keep the friendly competition up between classrooms to keep the totals going. All of this fundraising benefits Morgan kids! We cannot do classroom stipends, technology support, field trip bus costs, new soccer goals, robots/iPads, and more without this extra support.
It is also Homecoming Week for Eisenhower High School! Marc brought the idea of a Morgan Spirit Week to me on Friday and we ran with it! The Spirit Week days were in Friday's Rocket Review, but are also available below.
One more day of NWEA and we are done until winter! Tuesday afternoon, please have the laptop carts connected, charged and ready to go for our testing Wednesday morning.
Have a great week!
