We are still in need of parents to chaperone this trip.  If you can chaperone, please fill out the blue form that was sent home and have your student return it with the permission slip and a copy of your driver’s license.  Thank you!

Permission slips have been sent home for the 7th grade field trip to the Detroit Institute of Arts on February 5th.  The permission slips must be returned by this Friday (1/18/19).  There is NO cost for this field trip so I am hoping that we can get ALL of our 7th grade students to go.  We are also in need of parents to chaperone this trip.  If you can chaperone, please fill out the blue form that was sent home and have your student return it with the permission slip and a copy of your driver’s license.

Don’t forget to complete the Unit 2 Review of Standards BEFORE tomorrow’s class.  We will be starting a summative project that is going to cover the entire unit and will be entered as 4 separate SUMMATIVE grades.

Don’t forget to study for next week’s quiz on Hominids and Biomes!  The study guide is posted on Google Classroom.

The Viking Press (our school newspaper) has asked us to post this link for you to use to nominate your teachers for Teacher of the Month.
