Post THUNDERSNOW

Now that the THUNDERSNOW has subsided, and we are back to a typical week, teachers hope to re-schedule the portfolio conference with you. Thanks for adjusting to the weather situation, which was obviously an "experience" for all of us.

This week students are reviewing literature terminology, which includes an analysis of a 30 minute, situation comedy on television. Please help your student decide which program would be best. We also are continuing the novel Monster and reviewing reading strategies.

Forms for the Springfield 7th grade trip are due on Tuesday to the main office, along with payment. (You can print out information from the District website or stop in the office for a form.)

The trip is on Friday, March 25. Students will be on chaperoned buses that tour Springfield's famous sites. If students are not on the field trip, they are expected to attend school that day.

Please call the Brooks main office directly if you have questions about the field trip. Please contact your student's conferencing teacher about a makeup conference appointment.
