Last

This has been corrected below and on the blog for last week. Also, the
first date was in error. The correct date is October 6th. I'm sorry
for any problems this may have caused.

SEPT
10TH: BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT and 6th Grade
GATE MEETING:
Wednesday
Sept. 10th will be our Back to School Night and 6th Grade GATE Meeting. The 6th Grade GATE Meeting starts at
5:00 pm in the MPR. At 6:00 pm we will begin with a couple of songs
by the school band in the MPR, directed by Mr. Brozene followed by a shortened
bell schedule from zero to 9th Period.
Your student will come home with their daily schedule for you to follow.
Each period is 10 min. long followed by a 4 min. passing
period.
ELA/Core
and Math/Science Core could be up to 38 min. long so there will be plenty of
time to get the information you need and get around the campus as well.
The bell will be rung at the different intervals along with some
announcements. We hope to see someone from the student’s family at
our Back to School Event! And stop by the Parent Club table in front of
Learning Center for Parent Club information!
