Week of Oct. 21-25

Hello!  It is the beginning of second quarter!  Grade cards will come home on Tuesday, and we will be having parent-teacher conferences next week.  If you would like to schedule a time to meet with us, please call the front office at 523-7200.

This week in English, we will continue our unit on Edgar Allan Poe.  Students will be memorizing the first and last stanzas of "The Raven" so they should begin working on that.
