Just a reminder that we will have a late start on Weds. Dec. 20th.  The last day of school before the winter break is this Friday.  School will resume on Jan. 8th.

We have the final exam schedule for this semester.  I am sharing it  now so that everyone knows.  Mrs. Rockey and I will let you know about the bus schedules when we return from the break.

Breakfast served as usual — No lunch

School is dismissed at 10:30 a.m.

We have less than two weeks until the winter break.  Next week there is a Late Start on Wednesday, December 20th.  Our last day of school for 2017 will be on Friday, December 22nd.

Next week MBCC will be having Spirt Week.  I head a rumor that treats will be given to those that participate each day.  Here are the daily themes:

Monday, Dec. 18th – Holiday Pajama Day

Tuesday, Dec. 19th – Red/Green Clothes Day

Wednesday, Dec. 20th – Holiday Sock Day

Thursday, Dec. 21st – Santa/Elf/Reindeer Horns Day

Friday, Dec. 22nd – Ugly Holiday Sweater or Christams Clash Day

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow, Nov. 15th, is a late start. The bus schedule will be pushed back 1 hour.  Dismissal time is not affected.

Also, we only have school next week on Monday and Tuesday.  The rest of the week will be our Thanksgiving Break.

Students that are in my math class will have a word problem test on Thursday.  We are working on finding the number information needed to solve the problem and using our math word wall to find the correct opperation.  This has been something we have worked on since the start of the school year and this will be the second time for a formal assessment of student growth.

Thank you to everyone that made it to Dearborn High last week for Parent/Teacher Confrences.  Mrs. Rockey and I enjoy the time we have to talk about the progress of our students with thier families.  If you didn’t make it in, look for report cards in the next week or so.  As always, if you have any quesions or concerns feel free to call or e-mail either one of us.

Just a reminder that this coming Tuesday is a day off for students.  This allows our school building to be used for voting.  The staff in the ASD program will be spending the day learing new skills in a professional development.

We had a surprise guest today.  Samantha brought us pumkins to decorate.

We had fun while learning how to deal with a change in our schedule.
