Family Update

With one week left to go before spring break, our building is buzzing with learning and fun. March Madness is always a fun topic to weave into the lessons. I love to see the new brackets each year that come from different classrooms -- favorite books, subject specific tournaments, bracket math activities -- all great stuff!

There are a few important dates coming up and deadlines to note, all which are below. 8th grade parents -- please make note of the May field trip week paperwork deadlines.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Go Irish!

If you have an 8th grader, this is important information...

Last week, Ms. Wilhelm and Mrs. Gerlach met with all of the 8th grade students.

Ms. Wilhelm met with students who are attending the Washington, DC trip. Students were given important paperwork that needs to be filled out by parents. In the event that your student did not bring home this packet to you, it can be accessed here. There are forms that need to be notarized. Please make sure you wait to sign that form until you are with a notary.
We will be having a notary night at Davis on March 24 from 3:30-6:30PM. You can bring your paperwork in on that day and Mrs. Esker will be available to notarize your papers.

We will also be having a parent meeting that evening at 5:30PM in the commons to go over final trip details and share information pertaining to dietary and/or medication. Please plan to join us if your student will be going on the DC trip.

Mrs. Gerlach met with the students who are not going to DC and will experience a fun week of opportunities in Central Ohio. She gave them paperwork to bring home to you about the three field trips that are planned for the week. This paperwork will need to be filled out designating which trips your student is planning to attend. If your student did not bring home the paperwork, you can access it here. Permission slips and money are due to Mrs. Gerlach by March 27.

If you have any questions pertaining to the trips, please reach out to Ms. Wilhelm or Mrs. Gerlach.
