POSTER BOARDS

Due: May 30^th

We have been making tremendous progress these past few months, as we prepare for the actual “College Fair” on Friday, June 1^st. All that’s left is for the students to create their POSTER BOARDS for the fair.

On the poster board the students will include their feature article, additional information, pictures, and items given to them by their colleges. This board will be the main attraction at the fair. This final piece needs to be created and completed AT HOME and brought to school by Wednesday, May 30, 2012. 

There is a contest to determine who has the best board between the entire 3^rd floor. Prizes will be awarded. I really want one of my students to be the WINNER!!! So please assist and encourage your child to do their very best.

Even though, a tri-board is prefered, if you are unable to locate or purchase a tri-fold board, then a poster board will also work.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am excited and looking forward to the College Fair. This is an opportunity for the students to showcase all of their hard work.




Below is the note that highlights all of the specific requirements. This was sent home in your child's Friday folder.

Progress Reports

I have noticed that several parents have been signing their child’s narrative or progress report without actually reading it. So to make certain that everyone is informed of their child’s academic progress, I have started something new.

You will need to sign the form attached to your child’s progress report indicating that you received it, in addition, you will also need to write all of the subject areas where your child has a 69% or lower!

Please contact me if you need any suggestions on how to help your child improve in any subject area!
