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

9/22/17

Happy Friday,

I passed back graded work today, including grammar quiz #2.  Please ask your child to see for this work.
 
REGARDING SCIENCE CAMP FORMS:
 
1.  Please remember to fill out the BLUE FORM as completely as possible.  
2.  Make sure that all of your forms have signatures on them.
3.  The GREEN FORM requires a signature from your child’s doctor.  You need a signature on the GREEN FORM for ALL medications, including over-the-counter medicines (e.g. Tylenol, Benadryl, eye drops, etc.)  You do NOT need a signed green form if your child will not be taking any medications to camp.
 
For further information regarding science camp, you can go to:  http://www.waldenwest.org/school_programs/first-aid.asp
Additionally, you can refer to the following pdf.  
 
Have you signed up for the Rolling Hills Record, RHMS' weekly newsletter?  Please sign up on the website today.  https://rollinghills.campbellusd.org/newsletter/signup.
This weekend I will be generating bills for the balance owed on your child’s science camp tuition.  A reminder that checks are due on 10/10.  Please write your child’s name on the check.
 
The CIA (Compassion in Action Club) is collecting items for our homeless community.  They are collecting the following items (short list):  travel toothbrush, travel toothpaste, travel tissues, deodorant, socks, mittens/gloves, chapstick, baby/adult wipes, beef jerky, oatmeal pouches, etc.  Whatever you can do to help would be greatly appreciated.
 
We are officially collecting BOX TOPS.  Please place BOX TOPS in a baggie, along with your child’s name and the number of BOX TOPS enclosed.  Have your child give them to his/her core teacher.  As always, thank you for your support.
