October 7, 2013

Dear Parents,

It is that time of year again!  ITBS testing is this week!  We (the middle school) hope to finish up testing by Thursday.  Wish us luck!

Monday:  testing throughout the morning; regular classes in the afternoon

Tuesday:  testing until 10:30; regular classes for the rest of the day

Wednesday:  church at 8:45; testing in the afternoon

Thursday:  testing until 10:30; regular classes for the rest of the day

Friday:  9:40-11:10 testing (only if needed); regular classes the rest of the day

The mitosis project seems to be coming along.  I am anticipating the projects due around the 23rd or 24th.  We won't have science this week due to testing, but there is plenty of class time to complete the project.  I hope that there won't have to be a lot of meeting outside of the class time.  I will do my best to allow the students to separate into other areas to ensure they are getting time to work in a quieter environment.  I try to be fair in letting the kids go out of the room, but there is a big push to keep the hallways quieter and it becomes difficult to find space for them to go.

Just a reminder...  Sr. Marie's 90th birthday is on Thursday!  She is finally on the road to recovery and things seem to be going well.

Jack Salzwedel (Sam's dad) will be coming in for careers class this week.  We look forward to hearing his pathway to his current employment.  If you would ever want to come share your story, give Mr. Beisser a call and let him know.

Looking at my grade book, I am noticing that MANY students have not turned in any news article reviews yet this year.  All 7 are due next week.  I hope to see many of them turned in this week so that I am not flooded with them all next week.

If you ever have comments or concerns please email or call me.  I want this to be the best year for your child and I will do all I can to help that goal.

Many blessings and I hope you have a wonderful week!
