Hello parents and students! We have almost reached the end of the second quarter and that means that the A.R. point deadline is upon us. Seventh grade students must have earned at least 30 points, and eighth grade students need a minimum of 40 A.R. points. Students have until the end of the school day on January 28th to reach their goal.

The eighth graders have almost finished their student-led Colonial Times lessons and poster presentations. These will lead to a culminating writing assignment on the subject. Please ask your student what aspect of colonial life his/her group covered.

Our seventh graders are currently engaged in writing an 8 sentence paragraph about the fall of Rome. Their paragraphs should be in the editing stages right now. We will soon be starting our first novel of the year.

As always, we thank you for your support.
