10/1/18

Happy Monday,
Please return the conference forms as soon as possible (even if you do not think your child needs a conference at this time).  Conference week is October 15-October 19.  Students will be released from school every day at 1:08 pm.
Important information for both groups:
1.  PLEASE return the GREEN science camp forms as soon as possible.  Reminders: 
 
*You do NOT need to send in a payment at this time (unless you do NOT want your child to do any fundraising and would prefer to pay the entire amount).
*Checks should be made payable to Rolling Hills Middle School.  Please write your child’s name on the memo portion of the check.
*IF your child is fundraising, check off the fundraising box and leave the dollar amount blank.  Once fundraising is completed, we will add it all up for your child, and send you a note with the remaining balance.  At that time, you can send in your check.
*Donations will need to be turned in before we head to camp on January 15th.
 
2.  Cookie dough FUNDRAISER packets were sent home today!  Order forms must be returned on Friday, Oct. 12.  Your child will receive 40% of the profit they’ve earned from selling cookie dough.  Cookie dough will be delivered directly to the school for pick up.
