Conference Forms
Conference forms were sent home last week. This form is an opportunity for parents to request a conference with homeroom and/or math teachers during the week of March 8. Please return these forms as soon as possible so that I can schedule all requests and confirm dates/times with parents.
Too Good For Drugs (T.G.F.D.) Program
Deputy K showed the students a very informative slide show presentation about tobacco. The students were then given a "Facts about Tobacco" sheet that needs to be reviewed with a parent. These sheets need to be returned with a parent signature by Thursday, February 25.
Spring Picture Day
Spring pictures will be taken on Thursday, February 25. All students will be photographed on this day (unless a parent notifies the teacher otherwise), and there are no orders or money due at this time! When the portrait package is ready, it will be sent home with your child so that you may look before you buy. If you do not choose to purchase, you will simply return the entire package. If you decide to purchase pictures, you will send a check for the ones purchased and return any pictures you do not wish to keep.
