Rachel Carson Families,
In Advisory this week we set up our binders and talked about how they will be checked regularly to see if they have the proper supplies and organization to be ready for class every day. You can find the binder check form here. Please help your child check their binder each Sunday to get ready for school for the week.
Lockers were a major activity of the week! Students are working hard to open their lockers. If your student is frustrated by not being able to open their locker yet, you may want to get a small lock and have them practice. Staff and students are in the halls to help. Hopefully everyone is able to open their own lockers soon! Backpacks are not allowed in classrooms which requires students to use their lockers this year.
Back to School Night
Join us on Thursday night to see classrooms, meet staff, and learn about the year ahead. From 5-6PM, families are invited to bring a picnic and sit on the lawn, there will be some food trucks to purchase items from.
Beginning at 6pm, all students and families will head inside. Sixth grade families will meet with Mrs. Pattillo and Mrs. Hereford, seventh grade families will meet with Ms. Masson and Mrs. Schrader, and eighth grade families will meet with Ms. Hall and Mr. Gibson. There will be signs in C Hall as to which room these meetings will take place.
At 6:30PM, everyone is invited to follow their child’s schedule, meet teachers, and collect stamps on the school passport. Students can turn in the passport at the end of the evening for a prize.
Please bring a copy of your student’s schedule with you. Students are encouraged to attend and help families navigate the building.
