- The end of the nine weeks' grading period is next week. All work will need to be turned in by this Friday, January 11.
- Our focus for the third nine weeks' period will be the Holocaust. We will continue to see how intolerance and racism affected people before and during World War II.
- Open House for parents interested in learning more about the Middle School International Baccalaureate program for next year at our school will be on February 7th. Please plan to come find out about the program.
Please talk with your child this week about what goals he or she has for the next nine weeks' grading period. We are at the half-way mark, and it is now time to look toward the end of the year. Students should be half-way toward meeting the 25 Book Goal. They should be focusing on their reading and writing skills that will help them to do well on the FCAT. And they should be deciding whether or not (with your help) they want to apply to one of the magnet programs at the high schools in town. The deadline for those applications is the end of February, so if your child is interested, please help them to get the forms filled out and returned. If you have questions about any of the programs, you can call the school that houses that program.
Have a good week.
Mrs. Short
