7th grade world history

Next week will be our final week but it will be a busy one.

Our awards program for the 7th grade will be on Monday, May 21, 2012. The awards program will be at 1:00 p.m. in the middle school cafeteria. Please park in the back.

On Tuesday, students will not have school because it is election day.

Thursday will be only half a day as students leave at 11:30. It will be the last day for students. Report cards will go home with students.  If your child is not here, the report card will be mailed home.

It has been a pleasure to work with your child this year and I wish them the best as they prepare for their future.

Have a wonderful summer break.

The year is rapidly coming to an end and the next few days are going to be busy.

On Monday, we will have our reading counts auction where students can take the points that they have accumulated over the year and use it to buy things at our auction.

On Tuesday, the band students will be going to Gattitown.

The rest of the week seems fairly normal as we wind up the year. The seventh grade social studies final test will be on Friday.

Next week, we will begin testing in the 7th grade. Students will be tested over language arts, math and science. The testing will be from approximately 8:30 until 10:30. Please make sure that your child is here during this time and make all appointments in the afternoon.

You should have recieved a good faith effort sheet to sign. Please make sure that you sign the paper and that your child returns the paper in order for your child to get rewarded at the end of the week.

Please make sure that your child gets to bed early and has breakfast before testing.
