Reports cards are given to you when you check in, then visit the teachers to discuss your student. Students do NOT go to school that day. You should have received a postcard in the mail (both of ours came on Tuesday last week). There's a chili supper for parents, while it lasts, 5-6. If you need to schedule an appointment with a teacher because of conflicts please contact that teacher... teachers will let parents know if they are not available : during PIT so you can work out an alternative time. : Stop at the PTA table and buy a zoo book to support senior scholarships... join the PTA.... we may have info available on poinsettias to order for holiday gifts (any parent that can help at pta table? I have 11 teachers to see myself and plan to be there at noon to start that process). : Check out the Junior class fund raiser to help with Prom costs... if you subscribe to any magazine, you can renew your magazine thru them; they get funds! Of course, if you don't subscribe to any magazines (we don't), you can also subscribe and help them out. The junior class is responsible for funding the junior-senior prom. Yearbook orders can also be placed at PIT day. : The theatre play, Streetcar Named Desire, is this Fri and Sat. at 7 pm... come support the theatre students and the program! It's much more fun to play to a house than an empty auditorium. School spirit starts with the students and is enhanced by the parents attending too!
