IE starts 9/17
We will be meeting in Homeroom groups for one more week, working hard to build a small community within our school with strong connections. On Monday (9/17), we will be starting our regularly scheduled IE groups. We are still working to finalize the class rosters for this time period. This will involve more teacher input and will be shared mid to late next week.

Grade Level Blogs
This is a reminder to please update the grade level blogs regarding expectations for the week ahead. If you have any questions about this, please let me know. Everyone should have access to post in the blog. This has been a source of a great deal of positive feedback from parents. Thank you for your efforts to enhance the communication from school to home.
Handbook Signature Form
As we near the end of next week, a big part of our Homeroom time will be to review the important parts of the Student Handbook so that students understand the rules and expectations. With that being said, we need a Handbook Acknowledgement Form signed by both students and parents on file in the office. Each student will get a copy of the handbook, and Mrs. McNicol will be distributing the forms for you. Students should return the forms to their homeroom teachers. Once you have received them all, please bring them to the office.
