March 22 Update

Thank You!!
*Thank you to Dave Stockdale who has volunteered to teach the Junior Achievement "Economics for Success" class to the 7th grade students. This will begin sometime after Spring Break.
*Thank you to the Solle family who has volunteered their house as the location for our class retreat in May.
*Thank you to so many of you for volunteering to send in "p" treats for our Perfect P Poetry Party next Thursday. See the email Mel Solle sent out yesterday if you have questions. The students are excited about celebrating poetry and have really been getting into thinking about how to alliterate the letter "p".

Thank you for the countless ways that you support your children everyday. And, thank you for the many specific ways that you support things happening at school all the time.

End of the Quarter
This Friday marks the end of third quarter. Teachers will be working on report cards this weekend and early next week. Report cards will be posted to Net Classroom on Thursday, March 31. Thank you for taking time to look at your child's report card with him or her. It is helpful for your child to have an opportunity to reflect on his or her progress and talk about fourth quarter. We certainly will do some of that at school. However, it is beneficial for them to talk about it with you at home as well. Please email me if you cannot remember your Net Classroom log in. Paper copies of report cards will be sent home upon request only; email me if you need a paper copy sent home with your child.

End-of-the-Year
May is a ways off, but time after Spring Break often flies by quickly. I will send home more information in the coming weeks with specifics about these events, but currently we have two end-of-the-year activities with the 7th grade class. Our class retreat will be on Friday, May 27th (with a rain date of Tuesday, May 31st). We will be going to Michigan's Adventure on Wednesday, June 8th.

Miscellaneous
*Friday, March 25: 3rd quarter ends
*No School: April 1-April 10 (Spring Break)
