Quarter 2 Ends

The midpoint of quarter 2 is almost here and that means progress reports. But you don't have to wait for the progress report to be mailed home. You can always check your student's grades through the Aeries Portal.


The end of the quarter will be January 15th. There is plenty of time for students to improve their grades. If you or you student has questions on how to get better, please be sure you reach out to teachers through email. They'd be happy to assist.

Novels

Students are going to embark on a new literary adventure in their English classes. Last week, novels were available for pick up in the drop off loop at Edendale.


  • Sixth grade students will read Killing Season beginning on February 8th,
  • Seventh grade students will read The Outsiders beginning on
  • Eighth grade will read The Boy in the Striped Pajamas beginning on February 4th


Books will be available for pick up on January 20th from 10-1pm if you were unable to get one previously. Different pick up arrangements can be made by notifying your student's English teacher.


You can support your student by giving students time, a quiet and peaceful area to read. Chat with your students about what they’ve read, engage them in conversation about the story. Most importantly though is to give the students a place and time to do the reading.
