Thank you to all the proctors and Brian Benck for covering testing prep in ELA class.

Feedback on Parent Teacher Conferences: We made some big changes to how we did PTCs this year. Please complete this survey to provide your feedback and insights. We will also be seeking parent feedback.

Morning Duty:

G6 PE Dance Celebration: Though the PE Dance Celebration is going to look a bit different this year, our PE department has put their creative minds together to ensure this tradition continues. First up will be the G6 portion performed for each grade level in the auditorium. G6 students are already hard a work learning their dance and will have their first full performance on Friday, Nov. 6 during A block. This performance will be for G6 students and teachers. Don’t worry G7 and 8! Your opportunity to see the performance will come on Monday, Nov. 9th during F and/or G blocks. Please be on the look out for more information from Rick and Kelly who will be working to finalize the performance schedule. And thanks to Stephen Ada for being so flexible with his classroom space.
