Some Quick Announcements

Just posting some quick announcements for you all to update calendars and consider options!

1. Board of Directors approved the policy for Kindles/Nooks last night. I am currently working on the contract that students will sign and bring home for parents to sign. As soon as you have that in your hand your scholar can bring their device to the classroom.

2. Two dates can be moved on the calendar. Deserts test is moved to the 25th and Sound test moved to the 23rd.

3. Myths are to be typed and saved on students' thumb drives and brought to school on Friday ALONG with a hard copy of the myth to hand in. Students are typing them so that those that are excellent can be accessed quickly and electronically for me to submit to the website at Scholastic. Please be sure your scholar has a printed out version to hand in Friday morning. Scholars have been told that there is no specific length for their myths, but must be long enough to tell the story.

4. Boys and SUITS.....if your son does not currently have a suit, or a jacket to wear with pants/tie, please be aware that there are AT LEAST three times this year where he will be dressing formally. The speech tourney in November, coffeehouse in February and Graduation in May are times when formal dress will be required. Speak to Mrs. Pope if you need ideas on where to find clothing. She was able to procure a suit for her son last year prior to the national tournament. Students who qualify and go to nationals for Forensics will be required to have suits and three separate shirts so they can change out each day.

5. Our field trip for October will be the last week. We are waiting for confirmation and then will post where we're going and what we're doing. we will need drivers, and that info will be sent to Mrs. Tracy to organize enough driving parents.

6. The Grandiloquent Guardians Forensics Team has an opportunity to attend a tournament in Ogden on the 3rd of November. I would like as many competitors as possible to go and observe rounds. I will be driving, and most likely Mrs. Thayne. We may need one more parent to get everyone there and back. I will also be letting 7th and 8th grade parents know. Students can also meet up with us at Ogden High if it is closer to home.

more info later!
