Too Good For Drugs
Our third session of TGFD focused on decision making. The students received a homework assignment to reinforce the concepts presented. Once the activity is completed, the sheet must be signed by a parent and returned to school by Wednesday, January 26.
2nd Trimester Progress Check
Please continue to check your child's progress via ParentConnect. I encourage parents to review grades weekly with their students. It helps them better understand how each and every grade has a direct effect on their overall average!
Help Wanted
Would anyone be able to supply drinks for our upcoming Valentine's Day Party? You would not need to attend the party, simply send in the refreshments. Please email or send a note with your child if you are willing to help us out.
Also, I need 2 chaperones for an upcoming field trip to Argonne. Please let me know by Tuesday if you are interested. Due to security at Argonne, these chaperones would need to bring a valid driver's license for identification on the day of the trip. Our classroom is scheduled for Tuesday, February 15 from 9:30 - 1:30 (permission slip coming home soon).
