Greetings!

It was so heartening to see parents/guardians of 56 of our 102 sixth graders at the Outdoor School meeting.  We have already received payment for 26 of those students, and shirt orders & permission/emergency forms from 55.  Please remember I need those shirt order forms by this Thursday as that is the day I must get the order in.  Students will be receiving their Student Handbooks this week--I'm aiming for Tuesday, but it may be as late as Thursday.  Please keep an eye open for them.
Also remember that Wednesday is a Late Start Day, so hopefully you are prepared for that.  And there is no school at all on Friday, October 11th.  (Hopefully the weather next weekend will be as nice as it was this past one, although I don't want to use up all of the good weather for October--need to save some for our time up at Outdoor School.)

Now onto the rest of this week's "news":

SCIENCE--We will finish two videos on Monday and I should be returning the Lab Reports on the "Mentos & Diet Coke" lab we did last week.  I hope to have those grades entered by Thursday.  There won't be any homework this week in Science as we are going to go over the Student Handbook for Outdoor School.

ACADEMY--Monday students will receive work back from last week, so we will review their first quiz (capitalization & ending punctuation) and will prepare for the next one.  This will be on commas & colons, and will take place on Wednesday.  Look for homework in the form of a review worksheet on Tuesday.  PLEASE HELP YOUR STUDENT STUDY FOR THIS QUIZ.

Enjoy the week & as always, feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns,
Michele Humble
