February 25, 2013 - March 1, 2013

NEXT TUESDAY IS THE STATEWIDE 7TH GRADE WRITING TEST! We have all worked very hard all year long and are fully prepared for the challenge. Bring it on!!!

And on Friday, we celebrate all our hard work with the annual End-of-the-Writing-Test Party!!! One of my favorite events, it is organized entirely by the 7th grade students. It is the high point of seventh grade when they show themselves to be a mature, unified team. They always make me so proud! And it is a fitting end to a long journey. We're done with essays: creative writing for the rest of the year!!!

2/4/13~2/8/13



Technical difficulties kept me from updating the homework blog, but now I am back on track.

Great news for the new year: our Junior High assignments and grades are available to see on the parent portal of PowerSchool. My goal is to update the gradebook every Monday by 5 pm so that you can see if your child turned in their Spelling homework on Friday and their Reading Logs on Monday. Encourage your son or daughter to look up their grades regularly, as this will help develop solid academic habits and goal-setting skills.

And finally, the Frog Pond Fundraiser raised over $4,800 last week!!! Check out the frog pond website: www.cliffordfrogpond.blogspot.com. Above is the Frog Pond Building Team making some last minute decisions before work begins! Enjoy the photos.
