THANKS!

Many thanks to Mr. Mackey and Ms. Shiva for making the mandatory eighth grade meeting a success! Also, we thank the 8 th grade parents who came out to hear the important information about the standardized tests, high school preparation, and culmination requirements. Those parents, who were not able to attend, will be given a chance to attend another informational session but we do not have a date yet. Remember if the parent does not attend an 8 th grade meeting their student will NOT participate in the graduation/culmination ceremony. This event was such a huge success that we are planning a similar event for seventh grade parents. Read upcoming Weekly Newsletters for details!
