Good Afternoon,

I hope that all of you are receiving the Tuesday newsletters from Mrs. Bertke, our principal.  They are sent via email to the address listed on Infinite Campus.  If you are not receiving them, please check your email information on IC.  If there is an error or something that needs added or changed, please let the office know. 

Tomorrow is our Panther Prowl.  This is a new event this year and a way that the PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) is trying to raise money for student events in the school.  All students and teachers will be walking around the track 2 times in the morning during first period.  Students are encouraged to wear shirts/hats from their favorite sports teams if they wish.  If it is raining, we will walk inside during that time.  Please dress appropriately. 

As always, please make sure you are checking your student's grades in IC regularly.  8th grade English has a 5 paragraph essay due on Thursday.  This is 50% of the grade for this grading period (district policy).  7th grade will be writing their essay next week.  A great deal of practice has gone in to this to try to help students be successful. 

Thank you to those of you who came to Parent Teacher Conferences.  This is always a helpful time for parents, teachers and students to talk and make sure that we are all doing the best we can to help each student be his/her best.  If you were unable to come to conferences, (or even if you did come to conferences) please feel free to email teachers any time if you have a questions or concerns. 

Have a great day!
