Dear Families,
Happy Friday!
If you have not seen the note in your email containing important information and medical/liability forms for our Don Lee field trip, you can find that information at this link. IMPORTANT – The field trip fee of $110 is due MONDAY APRIL 15th and the forms are due to be returned WEDNESDAY APRIL 17th! We will reach out shortly after to follow up with anyone who we still need forms and/or money from as we do have deadlines to meet in order to make this trip happen successfully.
In the weeks ahead, we will begin our “global religion tour”, begin working on our final Expedition project, wrap up our big writing assignment and essay in ELA, and start preparing for the final round of portfolios. Finally, we will begin our last and final round of MAP testing during the week of April 22-25.
We have a lot of exciting things planned for the last bit of the year. Thank you for your ongoing support and flexibility and thank you for helping your students be the best they can be as they make this final push into spring!
Your Team,
Casar, Emily, Hope, and Noah
