-There will be a focus on PBL (Project Based Learning), meaning hands-on problem solving activities
-There will be a focus on technology integration
-There is NO cost
-It is an extended school year, ending June 17th (I mentioned to students this would be similar to the regular school year plus attending the first session of summer school)
-It is open to all Belton students K-6
If you think you are even remotely interested, please attend one of the parent info nights next week.

Progress reports
Progress reports are being e-mailed to parents Monday. If your child has missing work, he or she may turn it in at any time until the end of Third Quarter. Please let me know if you do not receive the progress report and I will make sure one is printed, and the paper copy is sent home with your child.
