Attention 6th grade parents:  Each 6th grader needs to bring in 1 paper bag.  We have new vocab. books and they need to be covered.  Paper bags actually make great covers!  Please send these in ASAP.  Also, if a parent would like to earn hours (and is safe environment trained) please contact Mrs. Lorenzi to arrange a time to come in and help cover the vocab. books.  Thank you!
_______________________________________
Homework help:   Please be prompt in picking up your child, as the teachers sometimes have appointments scheduled following homework help.  Students who are not picked up on time will be sent to extended care, and a fee will be assessed.  Sixth grade homework help will be in Mrs. Wennberg's room on Mondays and Wednesdays and in Mrs. Lorenzi's room on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Sometimes appointments may arise where we will need to trade days.
