Trimester 1 grade reports have been posted on My Backpack. We will mail home a hard copy of the report card next week. Soon we will send these home on a request-only basis because all the data we send home is available online.

We will follow a Monday and Friday schedule next week on Monday and Tuesday. No school on Wednesday–Friday. Happy Thanksgiving!

The Middle School Play Radium Girls is showing tonight and tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday at 3:00 p.m.

1500 cans? That is our goal to raise in the Middle School before Thanksgiving in order to help Dare to Care in these tough times. If every students brings in 5–6 cans, we can do it. Thanks so much.

Our ERB testing dates are December 8–12 this year. Makeup testing dates will be during the following week only. If your child needs accommodations for this standardized test, please communicate with either Lisa Pepper (lisa.pepper@kcd.org) or Jerry Loewen (jerry.loewen@kcd.org).

Carpool Reminder: If you come after 3:20 p.m., there is very little wait time in the carpool lanes. As you might have noticed, there is a big crunch right around dismissal time that is pushing traffic all the way back to Springdale Road. Thanks for your help.

The Duke Talent Identification Program (TIP), Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY), and others are gearing up for another season. If your child has scored at the 95th national norm percentile or higher on any portion of the ERB test we took last year, he or she is eligible for this type of program. Visit the following Web site for a handy overview of many fine academic summer programs:

The next Parent/Director Meeting is Thursday December 4, at 8:10 a.m. in the Head’s Conference Room.

Reminder: Students should not be arriving to school prior to 7:30 a.m. If you must drop off your child prior to 7:30, please let Mr. Loewen know.

Our second round of Independent Reading Book Clubs has begun.

Signing in and signing out. Please be sure to sign students in and out of the Middle School office if they are leaving early or arriving late.

All visitors must now enter the building through the middle school office door. Our security system has other entrances locked. A buzzer is now installed beside the main door in case it too is locked.
