Greetings!
I hope you have had a relaxing long weekend and got to spend some quality time with your family.
***I am sending a separate email with the link to the sign up genius for Lunch Bunch. 3 times a year, students can read a preselected book. Then they meet with 1-2 lunch bunch leaders (parents) to discuss the book during lunch. Pizza, dessert and a beverage are provided at no cost. This is not required. Talk with your child, and if they are interested please sign them up. PLEASE SIGN UP UNDER YOUR CHILD'S PM TEACHER'S NAME.
**Picture retakes are 10/17 for students who were absent or if want their picture retaken. Forms are coming home this week.
***The quarter ends this week. I am trying to get in all unfinished work. If a student owes me anything, I have already told them. Ask your child if he/she has any unfinished assignments and encourage them to get them in. Home Access will be turned off 10/10.
This week in...
