There will be an Outdoor Ed meeting for all parents of incoming 6th graders on Wednesday, March 8th, at 6pm in the library. 
The director Outdoor Ed at Covenant Heights will be leading the presentation. At the meeting, for parents only, we will go over the facilities, activities, and cost of the trip. It is a chance to ask questions, and get information about requirements. I realize that this seems early, your child still has another semester before they are 6th graders, but there is a lot of planning that goes into this trip.  We hope to see everyone there! 

Please make sure your students have headphones here at school. We use them almost everyday and will need them for testing in a few weeks. 

Conferences will be held March 14th and 16th.  These conferences will be student lead, so your child needs to attend with you.  Please see the link below to sign up.
