Hello Team TJ!

I hope that you all had a wonderful and restful weekend!  The weather lent it's self to two days on the treadmill instead of an outdoor walk, movies and warm bowls of soup.  I also had time to think about the next few weeks.  It is hard to believe that we are just twelve weeks away from the end of the school year.  We know that these last twelve weeks are so very vital in meeting the needs of our students.  It is important to keep the RIGOR up while still making school FUN!  We have so much to do and it is important to make every moment count!

We have a few important dates on the horizon to keep in mind.  This Wednesday is our minimum day for parent teacher conferences.  If you have not already contacted or reached out to parents who you need to conference with please do so. 

Trimester 2 grades are due no later than Wednesday, March 6th at 11:59 PM (PST).  You will need to submit a SchoolDude ticket for any grade that is changed after that date (whether overall or standard domain).  Report cards for elementary students should go home no later than Friday, March 8th.

Thank you for all of your hard work it does not go unnoticed!

- Kirsten
