Homework this Week

The math portion of the packet will be due on Wednesday morning.  The rest of the packet will be due Friday.  I would like to have the students have their math completed  before Wednesday because that is when we begin the math portion of the SAGE End of Level Testing.  This will make for a good review before the test on Wednesday.
Because of the emphasis on the Math for Monday and Tuesday night, I will not assign home reading on Monday or Tuesday.  Students will only be accountable for reading 30 minutes on Wednesday and Thursday nights.

Middle School Tours

We are planning on taking our students to the Cedar Middle School and Canyon View Middle School campuses on Friday morning for a short tour of the facilities.  There is a permission slip in this week’s packet.  Please sign it and return it by Friday.

Middle School Class Assignments.
We have been informed that Cedar Middle School students can pick up their class schedules for the 2014-2015 school year on May 7th.  We haven’t received word on the Canyon View Middle School yet.
