If you are going to meet your child there and want to sign them out, one of the 6th grade teachers can help you.  We think we have enough certified and non-certified volunteers to have at least 2 parents in each group.  We have wonderfully behaved children this year, so we don't anticipate any problems!

• 6th Soc. Studies:
• 6th Science: Metric Mania Mass notes & lab. No HW

Several students still need to turn in their $3 to help pay for the cost of some of the computer programs we use in 6th grade, e.g. glogster, voicethread, and edhelper.

Also, the Living History festival is coming up in October and parents are needed to chaperone groups of students. If you haven't been cleared through the school but are interested in doing so, just go to the Administrative Office to get the paper and pay $10.  It takes a few weeks to complete the process.  If you have been cleared AND have volunteered in the last year or so, you should still be on the school list.  If you are in doubt, feel free to call us and we'll check the list.

Have a great weekend!
