Updated! Book Orders Due Tomorrow.

The blog has been updated. Progress reports will go out later this week. Book orders are due tomorrow. Have a great week!

Progress Reports and More

Hi all,
My blog has been updated. Book orders (use link on the right) are due October 30th.

I've received questions about Skyward and grades. Teachers were given some time last Wednesday to access the system and to start entering grades. Our team hopes to have a progress report with standards based grading out to families next week. I will post and send an email when they go out. I believe parent access to Skyward will be opening up in November. Again, I will update you when I hear more.

Magazine Drive

You can still continue to order magazines to support Shuksan. Please use the following link and share it with others that may be interested in renewing/buying magazines to support our school.

Book Orders and Snow Goose

If your student wants to order from the book order please have them turn in orders before October 30. The link on the right takes you to the class online ordering page. When students and families order online they receive a coupon for $5 off their next book (or if the book is $5 or less the book would be free). The class also receives a coupon for $3 per order towards books for our classroom library.

The first Snow Goose group went out today. Please make sure that students are dressed in layers, have a rain coat, warm hat, gloves, long pants, and closed toe shoes. Students need a lunch (unless they ordered a school sack lunch). If your student is going on Monday with my class please make sure their lunch DOES NOT contain nut products/peanut products. Thank you! Questions? For Fridays trip email Mr. Finlay. For Mondays trip please contact me.
