Week of October 28th

Here is some important information for this week:

Picture retakes are tomorrow, October 29th.  Any student that wishes to get retakes must bring in their original packet of pictures.  Students that were absent on picture day will also get their pictures taken.

If students would like to dress-up for Halloween, they are asked to bring in a non-perishable good item that we will donate to the food pantry.  Students can bring this item in any day before Thursday.

We will be taking our topic 5 math test on Tuesday.  We will go through a practice test today and students will have it to review.

Just a reminder, CCIS T-Shirt orders are due this coming Friday.  Please get those sent in this week.

We are entering our final week of Unit 2 in reading.  We will have a spelling test and project due this week.  There will be no spelling test or project next week as we will have our Unit 2 Reading Skills test.
