NOTES FROM THE OFFICE
Inclimate Weather:
With inclimate weather quickly approaching us please know that delays and closings will be posted on our website. For your convenience please follow this LINK!
Medical Forms:
If your student has Vanderbilt forms or other medical forms that need to be completed for evaluations, please submit those forms to the guidance office. This helps ensure that your information is kept private and is submitted in a timely manner. Thank you for your help and cooperation.
Tuesday/Thursday Help Sessions:
If your student has missed any assignments during the week, their teacher will hand them a "green slip" on Friday that shows which assignments still need to be turned in. The student will also automatically be scheduled for a help session after school the following week to finish the work. Parents will receive an email notification.
The student can either complete the work prior to the help session date, or attend the session and get help from a teacher. Better learning and higher grades begin with work completion, and we want to help.
PROGRESSBOOK:
If you want to gain more from ProgressBook and use ProgressBook to stay on top of your kids homework and assignments CHECK THIS OUT! It is a quick video on how to set up notifications for missed work and low grades.

~* Chorus Concert Information *~
The 6th grade chorus is presenting “A Christmas Carol.” on Thursday December 12th at the Talawanda High School auditorium.
Things to know:
There are 2 shows - The first is at 6 pm and the second is at 7:15.
All choir members should be present for both productions.
The 6 pm performance stars the 2nd period cast
The 7:15 performance stars the 4th period cast
The production is approximately 45 minutes long
It is free and open to the public.
Costuming and Props:
All choir members will wear black. Actors will be mostly responsible for costume pieces, but be patient, as this is a somewhat student-led adventure. We will do our best to keep it simple and encourage students to find costumes from within their current wardrobe.
A few pieces I anticipate needing:
6 black masks (could be ski masks, but prefer them to look like “Zorro” masks.
Gray tutus for our ghosts of christmas present.
A Greek god or goddess costume for our ghosts of Christmas Past
A grim reaper costume for our ghosts of Christmas future.
Plastic “strong man” chains for Jacob Marley
Red velvet drapes for Scrooge’s bed curtains.
(I have a black photo backdrop stand that I can hang them from).
If you can help with any of the above items, please email me.
We look forward to seeing you at the show!
Sincerely,
Kelly Case
Choir Director
