Upcoming Dates

Photo Day is Tuesday, September 24.  Also, please note that there are no dress codes for photo day as suggested on your form.  That ended up on the TBS form accidentally. 

Fort Ross:  We are closing in on the number of chaperones needed to make Fort Ross a success. Thank you for all who have expressed an interest so far.  See the summer letter for more details about the responsibilities of chaperones.  At Back to School Night, we will briefly discuss the responsibilities, explain the job/role playing groups, answer any questions about the trip, and hope to fill any last chaperone spots open.  That is also when chaperones will inform us of their interest in job/role playing groups.  One note, adults are not assigned to the same group as their child.

Today in Strawberry Creek - We began the day with our first Cerritoberry meeting - Strawberry and Cerrito Creeks together.  We talked about our hopes for the year together followed by a game of Giants, Wizards and Elves at the grass field.  Other activities today included personalizing our writer's books and experiencing our first Academic Flex time, during which we had another visit from Ivan Kuskov.  Kuskov erupted from the time-portal-closet carrying a list with names of students in their assigned jobs for the Russian American Company in the Militia, Hunter, Cook, Gardener and Artisan positions.
