Hello Parents and Guardians:
*Students received information about our upcoming field trip, last week. Our trip is on Thursday, Nov. 29th. Permissions slips and money are due by Tuesday. I will post a permission slip on my blog on Monday. Sorry, but we cannot accept checks. Be sure to let us know immediately if you need assistance with paying for the trip, because we would like all of our students to attend this field trip.
*Some of the new textbooks have perforated pages that do not stay intact. If your child’s home textbook is having this problem please jot a short note at the bottom of this syllabus.
