Welcome Back

I just wanted to send a thank you to all the parents who sent in paper towels, hand sanitizer, cleaning products, and tissues. I am also accepting donations of prizes or rewards to be used for a homework Bingo competition that will be starting next week and gently used or new board games for rainy day recess. These items are greatly appreciated and I am still accepting donations.

I also want to thank the parents that returned their emergency cards, hand book pages, and grading policy forms. I will also be sending home a parent survey today that I would like to be fill out and returned. This is vital information to help our school year be a success.

Today, Thursday, students completed a benchmark reading test. This test is not an academic grade, but a tool used by the teacher to get a preview of the students' abilities. I will score them in the next few weeks and send a letter home with that information when it is complete.

Student supplies....By now almost all 8th graders have a journal for writing, which is to be kept in class. Many students still need a binder with three sections or a 3-subject notebook. The three sections are to be labeled Reading, Writing, and Grammar. It is very helpful for all students to have the same three sections. Students also need paper, pencils, and pens on a daily basis.

Thank you for all of your help and I am looking forward to a great school year.

~Mrs. Muldoon
