Our students did a great job working hard throughout the Georgia Milestones! I was so impressed with the effort they put forth! They really did their best at showing how much they have learned in fifth grade! J
Thanks to Claire, Antoine, and Jasmine for bringing us some more mints/candy for testing!
The Poetry Cafe is tomorrow night in the Media Center. I hope we will have some poets reading or listening!
Permission slips for our walking trip to Barber on May 5 are in your folder today – please complete and return. We will take a tour of the school and hear about what goes on in middle school to get ready for next year.
To keep you as parents informed, there will be a Parent Night for rising 6th graders on Tuesday, May 10, at 6:00 at Barber. See the flyer in your folder for all the details.
Yearbook order forms also went home today. Please return your order by next Friday, April 29.
The final report card of the year will be sent home after school is out. Please send in 3 postage stamps so we can send your child’s report card home. Report cards will be held in the office if we do not receive the stamps.
