Week 9 October 2nd-5th

I can't believe we are almost finished with the first quarter. Time has flown by and our scholars have learned so much. We have a lot of important information this week:


PARENT / TEACHER CONFERENCES:
Parent conferences will be held the week of October 16th.  Sign up genius links went out in the Athenian Echo this past Friday.  Evaluations will be sent out at the end of fall break.  These evaluations will be coming through the Jupiter program just like last year.  I sent out a Jupiter message today. This Jupiter message will also have the sign-up genius link to schedule a conference.  Please check your e-mail for this Jupiter message.  If you don't receive it, check your spam folder first then contact the front office to make sure your correct e-mail address is in the system.

FIELD TRIP:
Thank you to those showing interest in volunteering for the field trip.  The five chaperone slots have been filled.  Permission slips and the $10.00 fee are due this Thursday, October 5th.  Please note -  Both the permission slip and $10 fee must be turned in by this Thursday in order for your child to attend.  More information about the trip will be posted after fall break.
