News and Notes End of Year

Dear Students and Parents,


Tomorrow, as you know we are not having school in observance of Mrs. Schaffer, our beloved friend and teacher's memorial in the church at 11:00.
On Monday we will have our annual field day. Students are permitted to dress down appropriately. Shoes and socks are required. Lunch will be provided for all students. 
We will have our A.R final trip on Tuesday at Gatti  Land . You may bring extra spending money, everything else is free.
Our last school day is next Friday, but it is only long enough for a closing Mass and awards. I hope to see you there.

This has sincerely been the BEST year. I feel honored to have been able to be apart of your lives. I know each and every one of you will go on to be successful in whatever God leads you to do. I am so very proud of you!

With all my heart,

Mrs. Casto

We will be taking our math baseline test tomorrow. Students have been given the opportunity to review tonight using their Think Math lesson activity books.

The grading period ends tomorrow. Keep in mind that the current Reading grade may change due to A.R points and comprehension worth 200 points.

Please be sure to sign the permission slips for the A.R trip rescheduled for Tuesday. Students will have pizza, soda, a bumper car ride, and 2.00 to spend on games. If they want to play more games they can bring more money. We will be there for about two hours.

There is a Religion test on the Old Testament, Catholic version tomorrow. The students also have a project due tomorrow on any Bible story. They know what is expected.
