Sixth Grade Update

March 5, 2001

 The highlight of this week will be our camp trip! Students need to arrive
at school at their regular time. All students need a packed lunch, including a drink. Students were given a copy of the supply list. We talked today about dressing in layers. All students need a hat and a coat. Chapstick is a great idea too. Please make sure that their names are marked on everything!
We will return between 1:30 and 2:00 on Friday. Students are welcome to leave early with their parents. Students will only be allowed to leave with another adult if Mrs. Parks has written permission. All students can ride the bus home at the regular time.
