Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Welcome back from your four-day weekend!
A couple of important announcements:
The trimester ends next week. Report cards will be sent home
the week after.
Our two-night, three-day field trip to the REACH for the
Future conference in Chico is fast approaching on March 5th - March 7th. A
packing list will be sent home next week. In the meantime, we are requesting a donation of $25 to cover costs for this trip.
Please send check or cash with your student. We will return on Saturday at
approximately 7:30 pm. The video below was taken at the conference two years ago and if you look closely, you can catch some Camptonville faces.
7th/8th graders: Mechanical babies will be
arriving the 23rd through the 26th. Be prepared for an extra little one in your
home. I sent home notifications last week. If your family has become unable to
complete the mechanical baby project, please contact me immediately for an
alternative assignment.
8th graders only: The
counselor from Nevada Union contacted me to schedule a meeting with incoming
8th grade students. Unfortunately, NU does not have the resources this year to
send a counselor up to Camptonville as has been done in the past. The counselor has scheduled a meeting at NU on February 27th at 2:45 pm. Camptonville
cannot provide transportation to this meeting so I urge 8th grade families to
consider a carpool arrangement if you are interested in learning more about
your student's transition to NU. Obviously, students may be picked up early to
attend the meeting. If you have further questions or would like to contact the counselor, please see your student's paper copy of this handout.
8th graders only:
The Yuba River Ranger District is offering a scholarship to graduating eighth
graders who meet eligibility requirements and write a 1-2 page essay explaining
your interests and goals relating to community service, natural resource work,
forestry and/or wildland firefighting. Please see flyer that went home with
your students. Interested applicants should write a first draft at home. After
that, I'll be happy to help students workshop their writing for structure and
grammar. Essays due May 20th, 2015.
Students in my math class have a test this week on our last
module, A science quiz on molecules, compounds, mixture, and bonds will be next
week.
Thank you for your support,
