Dear Parents:

The MS Student Council will be hosting the second Middle School

Party on Friday, October 14 for the Grade 7 and Grade 8 students

from 5:00 7:00 P.M. Permission slips are available through

Homebase, and in order to attend, your child must submit a signed

permission slip and purchase a ticket. Please be advised that

students are expected to attend the duration of the party. In the

event that a student must leave before the end of the party, it isrequested that a parent notify the office in writing or by phone in

advance. When informing the office of the early pick-up, please tell

us who will pick up your child and the time so that the MS Office can

inform security. Please understand that we request this information

to ensure the safety of the students who leave the event early. We

encourage all students to attend their respective party and are

looking forward to 100% participation. There will be games, dancing

and lots of fun to be had. The parties will be a great opportunity to

spend time with friends!

Parent Teacher Conferences (PTCs) in the Middle School are

scheduled for Monday, October 10th and Tuesday, October 11th from

1:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. Students will follow a modified schedule on

both days and be dismissed at 12:00 noon. Please make the

necessary transportation arrangements so that your child is picked up

promptly at dismissal time.

Photos for the MS yearbook Salinlahi will be taken this week. Please

photos of your child.

Enjoy the weekend!
