projects

So far the projects look amazing! We are the only class that had 100% turn in all their posters.

Puberty Education was re-scheduled for Feb 8th, so stay tuned.

Next week is spirit week for the super bowl. Students brought home information.

Please check the PASS system. All grades are up to date. Also ask your kids about AR and where they are with their goals.

We are having trouble with lunch, talking (shouting) and food throwing. If this continues kids will have consequences. A few kids confessed so ask your kid if they were one of them. I gave everyone a warning, next time I will call home.

Have a great weekend!
