Reminders: Monday is the last day of school and will be an early release (dismissal at 12:30 pm). Report cards will go home with students. Bogg Bags will also be available to be picked up starting on Monday!
We will post an update when Bogg Bag orders are ready for pick up. We will also post an update when report cards are ready. We are waiting on a few fixes by our tech department before we can print report cards.
Tomorrow is our End of Year Field Day!! We're excited for a fun-filled day!
CLARIFICATION -- Parents are welcome to come to the ceremony. However, all kids will be in the bleachers and there will not be a lot of room. I am sorry for any confusion that exists. We only do a formal ceremony with parents for the 8th Grade students each year. If you planned to come, please feel welcome to come. :)
Awards Ceremony --- There has been some confusion about the 6th & 7th Grade Awards Ceremony. We do an 8th Grade Ceremony with parents because it is their last year with us.
However, we do the 6th & 7th Grade Awards Ceremony in house. This is not a ceremony like the one for 8th Grade. The students come to the gym and sit in the bleachers. The teachers hand out their awards.
The 6th & 7th Grade students will have their turn for the formal ceremony when they are in the 8th Grade. I hope this clears up any confusion that may exist.
Families: If you ordered an 8th grade locker gram, please bring your money tomorrow. Our promotion ceremony will begin at 9 am.
Reminders: Tomorrow field trip permission slips along with any outstanding doctor and/or parent notes for this six weeks are due in order to attend the trip! Also, we will be practicing for 8th grade promotion tomorrow afternoon, so please make sure your eighth-grade students are at school if possible!
Our fax machine is currently down - if you have tried to have any doctor notes or anything else faxed to us today, please either email it to Lnshaw@k12.wv.us or send a copy to the school.
Next Monday is our last incentive reward trip. We will be going to Spare Time Recreation in Ironton, OH. Please see attached graphics for more information on the trip and qualifications to attend. Students must also bring a signed permission slip back to school by FRIDAY! If students have any outstanding parent and/or doctor notes, these must be submitted by Friday as well.
