Six Flags
We have had over 250 students sign up for the Six Flags Trip. It is great to have such a huge response.  We will be shuttling 5 buses throughout the day. We are still waiting for all the students to sign up on the link to know what staff will need to go to what locations. PLEASE HAVE THEM TAKE THIS SURVEY


#ThatTalk might be embarrassing but it is vital for our future! *
Here's the outline of the 6th and 8th grade BESTCHOICESTL.ORG talks and an opt-out form for ANY parents who would rather give #ThatTalk themselves. They are also ON FACEBOOK too. This week (April 18-21) the 8th graders will participate in their version and the 6th graders next week(April 24-28) get their version.  Students or families wishing to opt out will received an alternative book assignment covering the same content.



Opt out here:
Print and send this in or call the school to opt out.
An alternate assignment also aligning with DESE curriculum will be assigned for the student to complete from a text book.

Attendance Comparison:  Making the turn!
Inching back higher!
We can do this!.
