• Today we will be following the B-Day schedule.  That means you’ll be attending periods 2, 4, 5, and 6 — so be sure to double-check that you’ve got the correct books and binders for class.  Again, this is a B-Day.  See your TA teacher with any questions.
  .
  But please be aware that the schedule is going to look a little bit different for our 7th and 8th graders today.  Due to the Arlington Tech field trip, 7th and 8th grade lunches will be REVERSED.  7th graders will go to period 5, then lunch, then Wolf Time; while 8th graders will go to Wolf Time, then period 5, then lunch.  The 6th grade lunch schedule will remain unchanged.  See your teachers with any questions.

• Attention 6th, 7th, and 8th graders!! All students must bring their iPads to PE from now until next Tuesday.  You’ll be recording fitness scores and setting goals for the following quarter.  When fitness testing is complete, you can lock you iPad in your PE locker. But DON’T FORGET them after class!  Once again, everyone should bring your iPad to PE.
