Room 13 News!
Dear Parents,
Students Going to Sacramento:See you Thursday morning bright and early here at MATES at 5:30 AM. Remember you are allowed to pack two check-on bags and one carry-on bag for the plane. The carry-on bag should have their spending money, snacks, plane/bus games, and a pen or pencil. The students need to wear their orange spirit shirt on Thursday (any pants are fine), and they need to pack their white MATES polo and black shorts/pants/skirt to wear on Friday. Please check the weather before we leave; dressing in layers is best. Please double check the packing list to make sure your student has everything they need. On Friday evening, we will have the students call you from the car after we land to let you know what time you should come and pick them up from school. We are so excited for the trip. Thanks for all your support!
Students Not Going to Sacramento:Thursday is the field trip to the Natural History Museum. Students should wear their white MATES polo shirt and black pants/shorts/skirt for the trip. They also need to pack a lunch in a re-usable lunch box because there is nowhere to throw away lunch trash at the museum. Parent drivers should plan to load up cars and leave at 8:15, right after drop off and attendance. Also, any parents who are available are welcome to come to the Gold Rush experience here on campus on Friday at 9:00. Thanks for all your help with these two special days!
Remember that the MATES Climate Survey is available online for you to give your input about this school year. You can access it through the MATES website. I would encourage all families to participate and make your comments and concerns known.
Finally, if your student has a summer birthday, and they would like to celebrate with a treat, let me know and we can schedule a day over the next few weeks for them to bring something in to celebrate. Just let me know. Thanks.
Thanks so much to all of you who attended Open House last week. We had a great turn-out, and I know the students loved showing off their classrooms. Thanks for all your support this year!
