Dear 6th Grade Parents,
I hope you had a great weekend! Here are updates for the coming week:
ENTRANCE FOR AFTERNOON CARLINE
Mrs. Grey has requested that all Junior High parents come to the Berendo gate via 162nd St. to help alleviate some of the neighborhood traffic during pick-up. We appreciate your flexibility as we are making adjustments to make dismissal and pick-up run more smoothly and efficiently!
STAR TESTING
Grades 6-8 will be STAR testing this week on the following days: STAR Math – TUESDAY 8/31 at 8am / STAR Reading – WEDNESDAY 9/1 at 8am. Please make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep, healthy breakfast, and comes to school with a fully charged device (iPad or Chromebook). Accelerated Reader (AR) 1st Trimester Point Goals and ZPD for book level range will be set this week once the student scores for STAR Reading come in for Window 1.
FIELD TRIPS
Please look out for details and permission forms to be sent home this week re: our USC field trip on Monday 9/13/21 and Ocean Institute on Tuesday 9/21/21. The students will need to bring their lunch on these days and a bus fee for both events must be submitted with the signed permission forms. We are excited to have such wonderful opportunities for our junior high students this year!
ZOOM BACK-TO-SCHOOL NIGHT (WEDNESDAY SEPT. 8)
Back-to-School Night will be held on Zoom this year on Wednesday 9/8 from 6:30-8pm. Mrs. Grey will send out a link next week for you to join. The Junior High teachers will also send a separate link for our presentation to attend after the General Parent Meeting. This is the first of three mandatory parent meetings throughout the year. Non-participation will result in a $50 fine every time, per the tuition contract signed by the parents. *We will also send out a Sign-up Genius for you to reserve a time slot for Parent-Teacher Conferences in October.
Please remember to complete the Health Screening questions daily before your child comes to school: https://forms.gle/9gbMjfUjSY1aD6ws7

Thank you so much and have a blessed week!
In JMJ,
