Guess what? Our pond is currently being installed in our garden! We are so excited to see the Sustainability class develop our garden into a beautiful outdoor space for our students and staff.

Good news! We have new dates for 6th grade camp. It is our goal to ensure that our 6th graders get the overnight camp experience. Therefore, we picked the latest dates we possibly could in order to get the best chance at attending overnight camp. However, this is dependent upon the status of the pandemic. We will keep close tabs on this, and we will have a back up plan in case we can't attend overnight camp due to the pandemic.

The new camp dates are listed below.

• 6 Unity: April 11 - 15
• 6 Integrity: April 18 - 22
• 6 Bravery: May 2 - 6

*6th grade parents, we realize that these dates may be slightly different than what Dr. Vogt shared with you last week. There was a change with Wyman that impacted our dates. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused you.

First Quarter grades have been submitted and are now viewable on the parent portal.

We received feedback from our students over the past few weeks about needing more time for passing time. We agree with them. Therefore, we started a new bell schedule this week. The new bell schedule increased passing time between classes by 30 seconds. In addition, we created a six minute passing period before Statesman Time so that students can pack up to go home before Statesman Time if they choose. Please view the updated bell schedule below.
