Mid-term is Almost Here--September 28 - October 2

Can you believe that we have been in school for a whole month, and now it is time for progress reports? This year there will be no paper progress reports unless a student is doing poorly in which case, guidance counselor's will mail a paper copy.  Instead, check your son/daughter's Aspen account for an up-to-date account of their progress. You can check your child's progress weekly to ensure timely completion of work. Any questions, please contact the school.

Museum of Science permission slips were sent home last week. All Freshman will be attending the field trip on October 14. Permission slips are due by October 9 signed by a parent. The cost is $20.00.  If for some reason you are unable to pay for the trip, please see me or Mr. Loranger. No student will be left behind for inability to pay.  Students will see exhibits and visit the IMAX theater.
