Miss Perris' 6th Grade ELA, Reading, and Social Studies

11/26/18

Welcome Back,
 
Today is the first day of the new trimester.  Trimester 2 ends on Friday, March 8.
Unfortunately, there will be NO Homework Center TOMORROW.  I apologize that it has not been as consistent as I would like, but I have had many more meetings than I have had in years past.  I had a meeting scheduled for Thursday but have cancelled it, so there WILL BE Homework Center on Thursday!
  
If your child is on the wheel, they began a new elective class today!
Please remember to fill out the blue science camp forms.  They are due back by Friday, 11/30.  You will need to fill out the green form ONLY if your child will be bringing medication to camp (including any over the counter medications).  The green form needs to be completed by your child’s physician.
 
Peter Pan Jr. is coming to RHMS.
