Summer School Begins June 1

Summer School starts Monday! If you haven't signed up, you can still come, just show up Monday morning before 8:00 a.m. Summer School runs from 8 - 3:25 Monday through Thursday. See you then!

2009-2010 School Year

I know we just started summer vacation but here at school we've already begun working on and thinking about next year.

Students have already filled out their course requests for next year and we are starting to build a schedule to meet as many needs as possible.

Enrollment Day will be Wednesday, August 5th. (This date has changed from the 6th!) 8th grade from 8:30 - 10:30, 7th grade from 10:30 - 12:30 and 6th grade from 1:30 - 3:00.

We will take school pictures, assign lockers and do some health screenings that day as well as get schedules.

We have a sixth grade orientation night set for Thursday, August 17th at 7:00 p.m. (This is a date change!) We hope to be able to answer questions and help our sixth graders get off to a great start.

As always, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to give us a call!

Grade Cards Mailed

All of the teachers have their grades completed now so we expect we will be mailing them home Friday the 22nd. Several students owe us money or a book so if you don't get a grade card by Tuesday, you should probably call or stop in to see if your child owes us something.

MAP Rewards Movie Trip

During our MAP Testing teachers used a rubric to rate students behavior, attitude and effort during the testing sessions. Those that scored 75% or better were rewarded with trip to the movies in Cameron today. We got to choose between Monsters vs. Aliens, X-Men, and Star Trek. We had a great time!

Academic Awards Ceremony

We will be presenting our Academic Awards on Wednesday, May 20th beginning at 8:30 a.m. in the Performing Arts Center. So far we have printed more awards certificates than ever! Parents are invited to attend. It will probably last until 10:00. This is also the last day of school with an 11:30 dismissal!

Attendance Rewards Field Trip

124 Students that have had 96% or better attendance and fewer than seven tardies will be rewarded with a field trip to the North Kansas City Community Center on Thursday, May 14th.

This is our way of thanking students that have had above average attendance.

The students will be able to swim, play volleyball, basketball, and climb a rock wall. We are leaving at 8:30 and will return before 3:00. Permission slips are required.

Summer School 2009

Sign-ups for summer school have begun. Each child was given a form to take home ( I doubt if many of those made it home :) ). These forms are due back in by April 3rd. If you didn't get one please let us know.

Summer school will begin on June 1, run four days a week and end on Thursday, July 2.

If you have questions give us a call! 528-7600.

2009-2010 Classes and Registration

We have begun meeting with kids to figure out what classes they will be taking next year.

Miss Jones, our counselor, went down to LES and talked with the 5th grade. She got them signed up for lockers and discussed their class options. They really can only choose whether or not to be in band. The rest of their classes are pretty well set.

She also met with 7th graders and discussed their options on Wednesday the 29th. Seventh and eighth graders do have a couple more choices for their classes. The seventh graders were given a course list and asked to put down their preferences. The parents also need to sign-off on this form. We hope there will be some parent-child discussions during this process!

The course request form was supposed to be turned in today! If you haven't seen it, or it's still at home, please ask your child about.
