NEW JOURNALS will be needed our first day back.  Please make sure you have purchased a new Composition book.  We are starting the second semester and we will be starting a new journal.  Old journals should be kept and not thrown out.  The information that students have accumulated will be beneficial as we prepare for the upcoming STARR test.  Their journals will serve as a great tool to help in that preparation. 

I hope that you all have a wonderful holiday with family and friends.  We have a long semester ahead of us and we need all the rest and relaxation we can get.  See you on January 4th!

Progress reports were mailed home this past week.  Please make sure to check the parent portal for updates and upcoming assignments. 

8th grade will have their Unit 7 assessment on Dec 14th.  It will be our six weeks test.   There will not be a Retake on this assessment, so students should begin preparing now.  We have already had some vocabulary and notes on Theories and Scientists who have studied plate tectonics.  We will be looking at topographic maps and understanding cause and effects of landforms in the coming week.

7th grade just completed the Components of the Solar System and will begin Organisms in the Environment this week.  This will be a quick unit with a Unit assessment coming on Thursday, Dec 15th.  

SCIENCE FAIR - This is the last week to complete projects and get tri-fold boards organized.  Check the DMS Science Fair webpage to see a sample display.  Also, if you still need to purchase your board, Hobby Lobby has them in various colors.  You can download a 40% coupon to get an even a better price.

DEADLINE for Science Fair Boards is Tuesday, Dec 13th.  This is a major grade for the 3rd Six Weeks.


WASHINGTON DC Trip deadline is fast approaching.  Follow the link on my website to register and see our Itinerary.  We are starting to fundraise and will have some great opportunities to lighten the burden of the cost of our trip.  If you have any questions, please just let me know.

Hope you have a great week.  Be prepared for the upcoming cold weather.
