We are beginning to wind down the year but we still have several weeks left. As the weather warms up, students tend to put their homework aside. Encourage them to complete their homework first and play later. Grades can still be monitored via Power School. The last student day will be Wednesday, May 27th with a 2:00 dismissal. The 7th & 8th grade students will be taking final exams on May 26th & 27th.
The first day of school for the 2015-16 year will be Tuesday, August 18. We will dismiss at 2:00 the first week of school.
All incoming 6th graders will need a school physical, meningococcal vaccine, and Tdap vaccine. Appointments fill up quickly during the summer. Make sure your child gets the needed examination and immunizations early. Your child will not be able to attend school in the fall until these items are completed. Also, if your child plans to participate in athletics next school year, they will need a recent physical. All 6th grade students will need a dental exam prior to May 15th of the 2015-2016 school year.
