MARCH Update

March came in like a LION... SNOW... SNOW... SNOW - OK enough is enough! It's beautiful and you got 2 days off, but we still have many things to get done.
First, the 8th grade after school college field trip that was scheduled for tonight, has been postponed. We do not know the new date yet. If you want to go and didn't hand in your permission slip, you now have time, so get it in.
Next, DSTP starts next week. March 11-13 Math, 16-18 Reading, 19-20 Writing. Be prepared! Have a good nights sleep and a good breakfast. It is important that you do well. Especially grade students. Keep in mind that the high school you plan or hope to go to sees your scores, so do you very best!
ELA - Writing - finish your time capsule letter
Grammar - Retests will only be accepted this week, so if you need to retest - do it now!
Reading - Open book essay unit test will be the end of this week - be ready!
Research Project - A major grade for ELA, Science, and Tech. ALL students were
given a packet explaining ALL requirements. Everyone should already have 3-4 index
cards completed. You wil need 6-8 index cards total. This research project is due April
8th and NO LATE PAPERS will be accepted. So plan to have it done before April 8th.
