in order to provide an optimal learning experience for all
students. |
| Dear Parents: We will finish our third novel, Pandora of
Athens this week and the students will turn in
their Pandora of Athens graphic organizer on Friday, March 13. I
have had to re-arrange some dates
this week due to events and activities being scheduled,
canceled, and then re-scheduled. The 6th grade
class will participate in the Math Department’s Pi Day on
Friday, March 13, which always proves to be a
very fun activity for the students. |
| Also, we will begin Atticus of Rome on Monday, April 6th,
so if you have yet to purchase this last novel,
this will allow you time to either purchase new from a book
store or you may purchase gently used books
from Amazon.com or Deep Discount.com. |
| The third nine weeks will end on Friday, March 13th,
with the last and final fourth nine weeks beginning on
Monday, March 22. As soon as I find out the date for report
cards to be issued, I will contact you. |
| I know you and your children are looking forward to a nice
spring break, so enjoy your family and have a
terrific time together. Best regards, Marsha Weddington |
