Hello Middle School Families,

We have reached the middle of the second trimester, which means we are officially halfway through the year!

We will finish Egypt and the creating a constitution units in social studies this week. The US History test is on Monday and the Egypt test is on Tuesday. Tuesday will also be the in-school science fair. At the end of the week, 5th and 6th grade will move into the Ancient Hebrews (old testament, yay!) and US History will move into a short unit of diving into the United States Constitution.

7th and 8th grade will finish Of Mice and Men on Monday and will begin CDW argumentative essays later in the week. 5th and 6th grade will finish Bud, Not Buddy at the beginning of next week, and then will begin OREO opinion essays shortly after.

Students will have a break from social studies/language arts projects during the essay writing period.

Please be aware that printing assignments should be done at home, not at school. Please make sure your student has printed out any homework or assignment the night before it is due. If there is a printing issue at home and your student is unable to print, please send an email to me, Mrs. Martinez, or Mr. Molina (depending on whom the assignment is for) so we are aware and can set aside a time to print.

Reminders:

This coming week is Catholic School’s Week

Tuesday 1/30 is Open House

Friday 2/2 is early dismissal
