Week 13: November 3rd-7th & End-of-Trimester Information

I can't believe that almost 1/3 of the school year is over!  It was a busy week finishing and presenting Novel Projects as well as Book Finales. I'm very proud of all the hard work and great things students have accomplished and I am working hard at home to get everything graded and entered this weekend. There is a lot going to on this week as the trimester is finishing up, please see below for our schedule and important class information.

I will be in Salt Lake at a training on the 6th and 7th but I will be available via email if anyone has questions.

As always, contact me at rachel.robins@washk12.org or call 435-652-4742 with any questions or concerns. Thank you for the ongoing support and sharing your amazing kids with me!

All Work Due on Wednesday, November 5th
