MRS. STONE'S WEEKLY WIRE
We have a little over a week of school left as this momentous year winds down. What a roller coaster ride it has been! One of the challenges we face in this virtual era is how to continue our traditions when we cannot be face-to-face. Mr. Zuniga put together a vibrant and fun virtual field day last Friday and I caught a quick screenshot of him announcing the team winners. Look how many students were participating!
Important Middle School Notes:

  • The last day of Middle School classes will be Thursday, June 4th.
  • Please join us for a virtual graduation ceremony on Friday, June 5th. It will be a special time for our community to come together for our yearly tradition. Let us celebrate our 8th graders during this difficult time. There will be NO classes on June 5th.
  • Teachers are busy wrapping up their assignments and will be contacting students who are missing key assignments. Please check in with your student to see if they have submitted all assignments.
  • Please remember your eighth grader this week if you have not already. They are enjoying the little surprises they have been receiving.
  • A reminder that 4th quarter report cards will be pass/fail instead of number grades. They will also have written teacher comments this quarter.
