Final Carelli Cup Event
We are in the beginning stages of planning for a larger Olympic-style Carelli Cup final event. We are tentatively planning for the afternoon of Friday, May 27. Our Student Leadership team are taking the role as the planning leaders. Our mission is to have each Homeroom have a rep to participate in a whole variety of competitions (academic, artistic, athletic, creative, etc.) that will take place, with each member contributing in some way. We'll keep track and find a winning team at the end. More information to follow.
End of the Year Plan for 8th Graders
The last day for our 8th grade students will be on Thursday, June 2nd. On this day, the 8th graders will be taking their class field trip to Mt. Olympus in Wisconsin Dells. They plan to leave around 9:15 on this day. At 9:10, we'll ask that all students and teachers line the hallways from the ramp through the IMC, to recognize this cool moment in their life.
The 8th graders will return from their field trip around 6:00pm, and we'll have some pizzas and snacks waiting for them when they return to school. A big thank you to the PAD Parent's Club for supporting the pizza for the 8th graders on their last day of Middle School.
Last Day of School
The last day of school is on Friday, June 3rd, and students will be dismissed at 12:30. We will plan to have a modified schedule on this day for our 5th, 6th, and 7th graders (will be shared soon).
Sometimes as we near the end of the school year, the excitement and energy can be more difficult to manage routines and procedures. The best practice to address this is being well-planned and holding high expectations for learning right up until the last minute of their time in your class.
We will be having a brief staff meeting in the PMS Cafeteria starting around 12:40 on Friday, June 3rd. We will be providing either some pizza or a Subway lunch for everyone at this meeting. Patti will be sending out a Google Form soon for everyone to share their preference so that we can accommodate everyone's preferences.
