Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Both the Reading Marathon and the field trip to the library
were great successes! Thank you for all your support! Students checked out the
3d printers, computer lab, and teen section as well as participated in a
Scavenger Hunt. The librarians complimented their respectful behavior
throughout the visit. Consider stopping by and checking out the library
calendar as there are ongoing events including movie nights and technology
classes - all for free!
Again, I invite you all to our Monday, April 27th,
stakeholder meeting after school to share your ideas on how best to use our
budget to support students at Camptonville.
We will begin state testing in English May 4th-8th and in
math, May 11th-15th. It would be helpful if students could avoid absences
during those weeks if possible. Testing will be during the morning so, if
possible, schedule doctor or dentist appointments in the afternoon. I will send
out more reminders, but wanted to give you a chance to mark your calendars as
those weeks we encourage students to get extra sleep and nutritious breakfasts.
Volunteer Requests
I scheduled a field trip to the Crocker Art museum in
Sacramento on May 7th. I will need one or two parent drivers to provide enough
transportation. If you are able, please let me know as soon as possible via
email or telephone. We will be leaving at 9:00 am and returning by 2:30 pm.
Additionally, we are officially prepping for 8th grade
graduation. As many of you know, we always go the extra mile to make this event
special for our eighth graders. If you are willing to volunteer for
decorations, set-up, cleanup, please let me know as soon as possible via email
or telephone. Barbara Hogan will be managing decorations and will contact you.
Finally, many students still do not have their necessary
hours completed for community service. I have helped some students connect with
community service projects on campus, but not everybody has stepped up to
taking responsibility for putting in time. Please
discuss with your students what his or her plans are for completing community
service requirement and know that we withhold graduation diplomas for
incomplete community service in middle school.
I'll be sending home progress reports on Tuesday which will
require your signature.
Thanks for you support!
