Dear Families,

Picture retakes have been scheduled for Thursday, October 1st. Please send your student with their picture packets on that day if you would like them to get retakes.

Our first Idaho History test will be administered on Tuesday, September 29th. Study guides were completed in class last week. Study guides will also be posted on our class web site.

Due to the short week this week for parent teacher conference, Lesson 5 in our Journeys Language Arts will be extended through the next week.

Parent teacher conferences this year are earlier than normal due to some changes at the elementary level. The conference replaces the Open House night for families we used to have. The purpose is to give us an opportunity to go over assessment data and individual student goals. I am looking forward to meeting with everyone this week.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Womack
