Final Thoughts
1. Watch for the permission slip on Monday for our upcoming Urban Air 3rd Qtr. Celebration. Students who have all their work and permission slip properly completed by Thursday, March 7 will enjoy jumping and screaming with their friends on Tuesday, March 11. We must prepurchase passes as a group, so no memberships or late additions can be accommodated This is always a fun morning!
2.Spring Break is only two weeks away (March 14-21) so we will be taking culminating tests and wrapping up classwork. Please ask your student to show you their Canvas grades to help them transition into more independent ownership of their school life.
3. We are totally out of tape and peppermints. Thank you so much!
