Dear Parents and Students,
We will have a parent informational meeting for Camp Seymour Wednesday, March 8th in the library at 6 p.m.. Students go to camp May 3-5.
We are actively looking for Parent Chaperones to come to camp with us from May 3 – 5, 2023.
- We need more Dad Chaperones. Currently we only have two which is not enough!
- We could also use one more Mom Chaperone.
Please email us if you are interested!! *To be a Chaperone you need to be up to date on all your Safe Environment classes. Thank you!
In the month of March we will be teaching our second Safe Environment, Touching Safety class. This lesson is called Lesson 6, Boundaries: Feelings and Facts. Please contact us by Monday (3/6) if you would like your child to “Opt Out” of this lesson.

Social Studies: Next week we will have the Chapter 8 test on 3/10. Students have access to the study guide on Google Classroom. This week we will also be analyzing primary sources, images, and literature from different parts of the journey enslaved Africans experienced. Students are working in small groups to learn about three dilemmas the West African people faced. Students will be working on reading notes which are on Google Classroom. We will be taking a closer look at the triangular trade. The test for this Chapter will be on March 10th. A study guide will be posted to Google Classroom one week prior to the test.
Science: Students are creating a food web from the time of the dinosaurs. Using this model, they will follow the flow of energy through the food web and figure out why the dinosaurs went extinct, but some other animals survived. Students will take a quiz on how energy flows in an ecosystem next Tuesday (3/7).
Religion: Students will learn about some of the world’s major faiths in to understand the importance of faith in people’s lives and to help them understand and appreciate their own faith. They will also learn about the work Catholic missionaries do among people of other religious traditions.
English/Language Arts: Hello HRS families! Next week, we will begin the “Summer” section of Wonder. We will be reading in class, and I will assign reading at home as well. On Monday, there will be a new double-entry journal on Google Classroom. Students may do these on paper, whether it’s notebook, or by printing the double-entry. It’s important that students complete these as they’re reading, so that they don’t add up by the end of the section. I’ll give them time in class as well. There will also be new spelling words on Monday. Have a great weekend!
Have a great weekend!
