Upcoming Dates

Photo Day: Tuesday, September 24 - Please note that the forms were sent home today with the wrong date.

Fort Ross:  The students applied for their role playing groups for Fort Ross today.  The trip is Nov. 11-12, and includes much preparation, this first being a crucial step.  Another important step is to hear from everyone interested in being a chaperone on the trip. A number of parents  have already offered to be chaperones.  Even though will discuss the trip at Back to School Night on September 19, please let us know if you are interested in being a chaperone before then.  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.
