Important Letter from Ms. Buras (also sent as email)


April 30, 2013


Dear Parents,
I’m writing this letter as a follow up to a talk I had with student’s at today’s morning assembly.  I need your help in reinforcing the fact that the school year is not yet over.  Although we only have about a month left to this school year, it is not time for students to shut down academically, or behavior wise.  Unfortunately, some students feel summer has already begun.
We are all noticing that some students are not doing their homework, not studying for tests, not paying attention in class, and are choosing to ignore class and school rules.  These concerns need to be addressed and corrected; otherwise academic and conduct grades will suffer during this last nine week period.  Students were told that extra credit work will not be given to pull up grades and conduct points deducted will not be given back if they make the wrong choices.  Students should know the expectations and rules by the last grading period.  I do not want to see grades fall and I know, neither do you.  Please speak with your child/children regarding these concerns.
This is a very important nine week period when new material continues to be taught.  Students need to remain focused so they can do their best.  Please help me help our students remain focused until the end of May.
Thank you for your continued support.
Yours in Christ,
Janet B. Buras

School Supply Pack Reminder - Deadline May 15!

Please remember that if you want to order your student(s) a school supply pack for the 2013-14 school year, orders are due by MAY 15th!  There are NO exceptions to this deadline.

Please also note that if you're ordering a School Supply Pack a communication folder and assignment book are already included in the pack.  Copy paper reams are also included.  You do not have to order those items separately.

Everything is included with the supply pack except for blankets, pillows, backpacks, and any fees.

If you plan to purchase your own supplies, you can still use the form or the online store to order a communication folder and/or assignment book.

If you've already placed your order and double ordered any of these items, Stephanie Maxwell will be in touch with you concerning a refund.
