Finals Schedule
If your child misses school on those days, families will need to schedule a time to take the assessment once school is out. Parents will need to call the office or email to set that up. Monday, May 20th would be the preferable choice so we can get grades completed. Please note that we may have to hold your child's grade card if we aren't able to get them completed in a timely fashion.
Fun Day
This year we are planning to celebrate the end of the year with a school-wide trip to Capital 8 Theatres the morning of May 16th and an afternoon with field day type activities. A permission slip went home yesterday with your student (extra copies are available in the office). Permission slips are due, Tuesday, May 14th. We do need permission for them to go as well as your permission for them to watch a PG-13 movie if they choose. There is a PG movie option as well.
Movie options:
- Lego Movie (PG)
- Holmes and Watson - Will Ferrell (PG-13)
- Bumblebee-Transformer (PG-13).
The concession stand will be open. Students are welcome to bring money if you would like for them to purchase a snack during the movie.
Thank you so much to those that have already signed up to volunteer your time in the afternoon at the complex. We have all the spots covered! If you signed up to bring water, please drop it off in the office by May 14th so we can make sure it is cold and ready to enjoy by Thursday.
Thank you to our Home and School for providing this fun opportunity for our students to celebrate.
