Family Update

Good afternoon!

This Monday, we honor the veterans who have served our country. My dad (pictured here) and both my grandfathers served in the military, and I am deeply grateful for their sacrifice and commitment.

If you are a veteran, or if you know one, please take a moment to thank them for their service.

We have some special activities planned in our classrooms, as well as the Sounds of Service concert on Tuesday, organized by Mrs. Kaeser’s Marketing class. We look forward to this meaningful event for our students.

Thank you, as always, for your help and support.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Mike

Based on one of Roald Dahl’s most poignantly quirky stories, Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach JR. is a brand new take on this "masterpeach" of a tale. Featuring a wickedly tuneful score and a witty and charming book, this adventurous musical about courage and self-discovery is destined to be a classic.

When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that grows a tremendous peach, rolls into the ocean and launches a journey of enormous proportions. James befriends a collection of singing insects that ride the giant piece of fruit across the ocean, facing hunger, sharks and plenty of laughs along the way. You don't want to miss this family-fun adventure that celebrates found family and friendship!

At the end of the 1st semester students will participate in Semester Exams. This year exams will be on Dec. 17-20. We will be on an adjusted schedule to administer the exams. As you are preparing for winter break activities here are some guidelines that we will follow for exams:

• If your child is going to miss exam week for any reason, please contact our attendance office to do a pre-arranged absence.
• Neither students nor staff can reschedule an exam without administrator approval.
• Students leaving early for winter break will take exams WHEN THEY RETURN. We will run a make up exam schedule on Jan. 7-10 for students to complete any missed exams.
• Rescheduling exams for convenience is not permitted.

If you have specific questions, please contact us and we will be happy to help.
