Conferences (Minimum Days)
Spring conferences (and minimum days) begin this Thursday, 3/8, and continue all next week. Please be sure to follow your scheduled conference time. Remember that your child will be your host during this time. You may check the conference schedule here.

EMS (blue) Forms
There has been some confusion regarding the Eastlake Middle School forms and where to turn it in. On the cover page, it states to turn in the form to the 6th grade teacher by 3/9 so I am waiting on confirmation that EMS will be coming to pick them up after that date. I’m sorry for the confusion and will try to give you an update as soon as I hear back.

Ancient Greece Research Reports due Thursday
Research reports are due this Thursday, typed on Google Classroom. Most of the work is being completed in class, but please ask your child to see his/her project before the due date. Students have been very engaged and eager to research an Ancient Greek topic of their choice.

Sorry for the short notice, but 6th grade pictures (with the option of cap & gown) will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, 3/6. Order forms will be sent home today.

Please click here to sign up for your spring conference. The conference will be student-led, meaning your child will present his/her work and data to you so be sure your child can attend the conference that you select. Let me know if you have any questions.

Monday – Kindness Week begins; ELPAC testing begins (for English Learners only)

Tuesday – Spring Pictures

Wednesday – Valentine’s Day – bring cards and non-food items only for each student; VAPA; Variety Show auditions for 6th graders; Math Mid Module 4 Assessment

Thursday – minimum day; field trip to Eastlake Middle School; finish Math Mid Module 4 Assessment

Friday – No School – Lincoln’s Birthday

Please see below regarding our Valentine’s Day exchange on Wednesday, 2/14. Remember that food items are NOT allowed. 

On Wednesday, 2/14, if your child would like to pass out Valentine’s Day cards (non food-items only), they may do so as long as they bring one for each student (28 students). I will provide the class roster on Google Classroom for students to view.

If you would like to see photos from camp, please join Homeroom here. This is the easiest platform that I’ve discovered to share photos easily and privately. Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee photos of every child but I will try to get as many groups shots as possible so you can look for your child. They are having a wonderful time so far. Today, they will begin their activity day groups, which include hiking, trees, water, wilderness survival, activities such as rock climbing, canoeing, archery, etc. It should be a beautiful day!

I created a Donorschoose project to replenish the broken and lost PE equipment such as kickballs and foam balls. If you would like to donate, please visit the project here. Donations are being doubled for a limited time and any amount truly helps. Thank you!
