Happy New Year 2014!

Wow! What a wonderful and long Christmas and New Year's break. With a couple extra snow days and a long break from the academics we will have a shortened review week.

6th grade students will re-connect with chapter 5 and continue with chapter 5 reading notes.
7th grade students will re-connect with chapter 26 and continue with chapter 26 reading notes.

Looking forward to being back in class.

-Mr. Toole
(We had many students absent prior to break and then we missed the Friday before vacation, so this week's priority will be to successfully get all students academically back on track and moving forward)
