Spring Break is here!

Everybody is ready for some much-needed time for relaxation. It sounds like some students have fun vacations planned and others, like me, will be relaxing at home.
Spanish students: don't forget you have a test or quiz coming up after break.
  • 7th grade: We have a test on Wednesday, April 7 on Unidad 2, etapa 3. Look over your notes and the study guide that you received this week so that you don't forget everything over break!
  • 8th grade: We have a vocabulary quiz on Wednesday, April 7 on the words for rooms in the house and furniture.

Have a great week off!!

Protect yourself online

A few weeks ago during Homebase, the 7th graders talked about ways to stay safe online, specifically on social networking sites, like Facebook. Please be aware of hackers that may try to get into your account.

Make sure you are safe online. Don't share personal information with people you don't know and don't make information about yourself available for anyone to see!

ISAT testing

This week the students took their ISAT tests. They have been preparing for these tests in LA/Reading, Math and Science so I know that they were ready! It was a long week of testing, but the students were troopers and I'm sure they'll be pleased when they get their scores.
Great job!!
