Teachers Needed - Mrs. Furrey and I have been diligently working on next year's class schedule. Let me just say, "Whew...That is a hard job!" At this point, we are still in need of the following teachers: Algebra 1, Algebra 2
Book Turn In / Grade Card Pick up - Most of you have picked up your grade cards and turned in books, but I am still needing a few families to contact me to make arrangements to close the year out. Please feel free to call the office, and I will be happy to schedule a time to meet you. Remember, all outstanding fees must be paid before grade cards can be returned.
Parent Jobs - We have revised the parent job list and cleared out last year's information. In past years we have noticed a few families selecting multiple jobs that put your parent points well above the mandatory 3 points per family. We appreciate your willingness to serve above and beyond what is asked, but we have found that it significantly limits some of our families in their search for parent points. This year we are asking that each family be mindful of this and only sign up for 3-5 points until everyone has had an opportunity to look over the list and make their choice. Please take note that we have added and/or deleted some jobs as well as adjust points on a few.
Summer Reading Program - Mrs. Bessert has agreed to secure awards again for our top readers. We have given out some pretty great awards in the past, including a NOOK. Please encourage your child to Read, Read, Read!!!
Sewing Machines Needed - We are introducing a new class to our students next year and are in need of sewing machines. We plan to offer a FACS class (similar to home economics) and Mrs. Chancellor plans to teach a sewing unit. If you have a sewing machine in good working condition and would like to donate it to the school, please contact the office.
