Volume 6 Number 34

June 11 , 2007

CALENDAR:

The Middle School Dance Concert will be presented at 7:00 p.m. in Center Stage.  This concert will feature Middle School dancers performing original dance compositions of different styles, including jazz, hip hop, modern, lyrical, broadway, and much more!  Come and enjoy a great evening of dance!

OVERDUE LIBRARY BOOKS: We are approaching the end of the semester. There are lists posted on the office window and homeroom teachers have reminded students about overdue books.  If books are not turned in by June 12 access to Power School will be turned off on June 15th.  Please have your child look under the bed, in the backpack, and around the house for books that need to be returned.  Some of these books were due in March!  There are also many students who owe money at the kiosks. We will turn off access to PowerSchool to those who do not pay by June 15th.

YEARBOOKS:  Yearbooks will be delivered the week of June 11th. Don’t be disappointed. Order your yearbook now. Pay $40 at the cashier and give the name and grade level of the student to whom you want it delivered.

GRAPHING CALCULATORS are required for all ninth graders and all 8th grade extended math students. They are recommended for regular math 8 students also.  We have a set of calculators which students may use during class but these may not be taken home. We recommend that students buy the Texas Instruments TI-83 or TI-84. These are not available in Lima. We suggested that if you were traveling in January/February that you pick one up then. If you did not, please get one during this vacation. If you have questions about the calculator please contact Mr. Gould bgould@amersol.edu.pe    or  Ms. Freeburn  kfreebur@amersol.edu.pe    The PTA has a few calculators for rent also.

REPEAT ANNOUNCEMENTS

THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL IS JUNE 28TH.  If you are moving and want records for the student’s new school, please fill out a withdrawal form. Records will be given to students on June 28th. We are not able to give them out sooner since we have to wait for all grades to be in.  Books and materials must be returned to the Media Center by June 12th.  Textbooks are due by June 22nd.  Students who do not turn in Media Center materials will have their access to PowerSchool denied on June 15th.  Students who do not have textbooks in by June 22nd will have their access denied.  Students will receive report cards on June 28th. If they have books or materials outstanding or owe fines to the Media Center the report card will be held.  Report cards not picked up on June 28th may be picked up in the Middle School Office.  School Offices will be closed July 4-15.
