THIS WEEK.

This week, we’ll be settling in to 6th Grade – sorting our supplies, organizing our binders, notebooks, and personal spaces for the new year, and establishing expectations and routines. We’ll be starting our first couple writing assignments of the year and completing a grammar pretest (helps Ms. C help us more efficiently).

Phew! My apologies, I know it’s a lot! Thank you in advance – please let me know if you have any questions on the information/policies.

Next week, we’ll be kicking off our first fundraiser for 6th Grade Camp –> representatives from All American Catalog services will be on campus on Monday, August 26 to talk to 6th and 8th about the sales. A large percentage of whatever money your child raises is put forth to your family’s individual camp balance (I’ll talk more about this at Back-to-School Night).
