Parent Teacher Conferences:
Report Cards should be sent out sometime this week. Once they are sent out I will be sending out a sign-up genius to sign up for parent teacher conferences. I will have times before school, after school and some on Friday afternoons.
Historical Dress-Up Day:
Costumes must be in the theme of our historic studies this year, which will cover The Holy Roman Empire (1550) through the World of the Forty-Nine(1850). Guidelines: No weapons, no gore, nothing scary, students need to be able to move and sit properly and use the restroom on their own. Have fun thinking of ideas
