MESSAGE: Jan. 17, 2006 |
Sixth Grade Chat
I was covering a sixth grade class last
week and had a wonderful
conversation with the students. We
talked about using the drop off circle in
the morning and after school, the need
to stay out of hallways and lockers
during lunch, and most importantly, the
fifth grade move to Hall next year. I
was impressed with the thoughtfulness
of the questions that the students
asked about the move. They had a
very clear sense of what issues arise
when moving a grade from one school
to another. They asked about the new
building, the lunch schedule, the bell
schedule, field and play structure
usage, and specialist time. The sixth
graders were excited about the fifth
graders coming over – as long as they
don’t get lockers or get to go to
dances.
Reconfiguration Task Force
The Reconfiguration Task Force meets
next on Thursday, February 2nd at 7:00pm in the Hall library. Each
of the
subcommittees will report out on their
progress. I invite anyone interested,
including sixth grade students, to
attend the meeting and participate in
the work of the task force.
Mark Your Calendars
I know it is far in advance, but I want
you to be aware of the STAR testing
dates for this spring so that you can
ensure that your children are present.
We will be testing students the week of
April 24 and the week of May 1. We
are planning on testing in the morning
and having shortened classes for the
remainder of the day.
Students of the Month
Congratulations to the following
students who were awarded December Students of the Month.
They are being honored for their
positive attitudes, relationships with
peers and adults, and their
contributions in and out of the
classroom. They are:
- 8th grade: Luana & Roshan
- 7th grade: T.J. & Shannon

They will be rewarded with a trip to
Baskin-Robbins with a friend this
Friday at lunch.
