Dear 6-9 Families,

Congratulations on surviving your student's first week of middle school!  They are a wonderful class of students!

 

On Monday and Tuesday, I know you were inundated with papers that needed to be signed and returned.  Monday was an all-homeroom day and Tuesday the students had short rotations to their subject area classrooms in the morning.Here is a quick checklist to see if you've done your "homework":

 

Here are some items to be aware of that are due by Friday: 

_____return a signed Middle School Rules slip

_____a signed PE letter for your student to give to Mrs. Bauer

_____a signed/initialed copy of the Homeroom Letter (there is a little clipart of a chalkboard on it - two copies were provided/keep one at home/send back the other)

_____classroom contracts for Religion, LA, and Reading (and others given by subject teachers, such as Math and Social Studies)

_____purchased/found/located five Book Sox for the hardcover books

_____covered the Voyages workbook with contact paper* (this one travels between home and school frequently) *It's not required to cover it but the book will hold up much, much better if you cover it with contact paper

_____make sure your student has signed up to his/her Google Classrooms

_____has turned in a paper or online Summer Reading project

 

On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the 6th graders switched classes all day like champs, navigated the hallways with binders and textbooks, used their cubbies, went to the Cathedral for singing practice on Thursday and again on Friday for Mass, where they were wonderful...I am very proud of all of them!!!

 

Back To School Night begins in the Cathedral with a Prayer Service at 6:30 and then over to the classrooms for a short teacher presentation. We will meet in just the homerooms, so if you have a 6th grader in Rm. 9, I look forward to seeing you in the classroom for a nuts-and-bolts Back To School Night on Wednesday!

 

I usually update this page on Sundays, and if you are subscribed, the weekly post will be automatically emailed to you. Have a wonderful evening!
