Friday at Five

April 19, 2024

Teacher Appreciation Week is coming!  Monday, May 6 – Friday, May 10, we will be showing our teachers and staff how appreciated they are.  We can use your help in two ways:

1.    One day will be “Orange You Just the Best” Day where our staff will be treated to orange snacks.  It would be so helpful if you could donate anything orange or in orange wrappers.   (Think individually wrapped goldfish, Cheez-it, Cheetos, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Reese’s Pieces, peanut butter flavored granola bars, orange Tic Tacs, orange packs of gum, etc.)  Please send in any donations to the front office between now and Friday, May 3.

2.    We would love to treat our teachers and staff to a $10 gift card from any convenient store!   (Think Amazon, Target, Wal Mart, Chick-Fil-A, Starbucks, Dunkin, etc.)  Please send in gift cards in the amount of $10 each to the front office between now and Friday, May 3.  

Thank you so much for showing our teachers how appreciated they are!

8th Grade Parents:  We have planned some fun activities for your 8th graders to celebrate the end of the year. These activities will take place during school hours May 20- 22.  (The last three days which are Early Release Days) As an incentive for the students, the criteria to participate in the end of the year activities is that students can only participate if they have not been assigned OSS from Monday, April 22 through Friday, May 17.  We will communicate this with our students.   Please team with us and discuss it with your student at home as well so that our kids can enjoy the fun we have planned for them!

The 8th Grade Dance Permission Slip will be distributed Monday, April 22 and is due back Friday, April 26.  

8th Grade Parents:  In an effort to ensure that students have test-ready laptops, 8th grade students will be leaving their laptops and chargers at school from April 17 until 8th grade testing is complete. 

Milestone testing begins soon!  See the schedule below.  Be sure your student is at school and on time during testing.
