*LAST* Update - June 11 - June 15 (Week 37)

Wow!

What a year!

This may have been the best overall year I've ever had! The students were amazing, and the success they had as whole classes and individuals was great.

Thanks for YOUR help in ensuring the success of your child at school.

I hope your students have a good and enriching summer, and continued success in 8th grade.

PS: We are still working hard this week, so make sure your child is bringing all materials to school this week. :)

Thanks,

Mr. Sandoval

Update - June 4 - June 8 (Week 36)

ALMOST DONE!

1 1/2 weeks left!

>> CHECK JUPITERGRADES.COM (Web grades)!

All current assignments are updated. Please check your student's grades for any missing assignments.

>> THIS WEEK: Continuing Family Life Curriculum

>> SUMMER TIME = Still a time for learning! 

Have you thought about what activities you will have your child do to MAINTAIN their reading and math skills?

A lot of learning can be "lost" over the next two months. Think of activities that get your child ACTIVELY THINKING. 

Here a couple of websites with "summer learning" resources...
