I’ll be in the 5th grade classrooms on Feb. 9th and 10th to talk about all things 6th grade: electives, advanced courses, lockers, lunch, etc.
Be on the lookout for a blue 6th grade course request to complete with your student. (Each middle school’s course request will printed on a shade of blue.)
Completed and signed course requests are due back to me by February 23rd.

Individual Picture Day is Coming - Tuesday, February 9th
Dear families,
Spring Picture Day is coming up! Our BEARS will have individual spring pictures taken on Tuesday, February 9. Virtual students will receive information from their teacher regarding what time to come to campus for pictures.
Pre-order envelopes will be sent home the week before picture day. You can order online or send in your form and money on picture day to give to the photographer. After picture day, students will bring home a QR code that parents can scan to see their proof before ordering, if you prefer.
Proofs will be available online approximately 10 days AFTER picture day. Out of an abundance of caution, and to ensure we are doing what is best for the safety of all staff and students, class pictures will not be taken this year.

K-5th Grade Virtual Classrooms
Our virtual classrooms are for students that meet the following criteria:
1. Parents have selected their child to be a virtual learner for Quarter 1, 2, 3, and/or 4
2. A student tests positive for Covid and is required to quarantine
3. A student is required to be in quarantine as determined by Nurse Tiffany
Therefore, if your child is traveling or not feeling well and will be kept home from school, they will not be jumping on a Zoom link with their grade level virtual teacher(s). Students will be counted absent and provided with their make-up work upon their return to school. Also, be sure to send in their doctor's note or parent note within three days of their return to school.
Thank you for understanding as our teachers continue to work tirelessly to serve our BEARS.
