- 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. And for Wolf Time this week, everyone should go to your TA classroom. Again, this is a B-Day — and go to your TA for Wolf Time. See your TA teacher with any questions.
.
- The 2nd semester may be just starting — but it’s already time think about next year’s classes! Here’s the plan: TA teachers will be distributing Course Request Forms to all 6th and 7th graders during TA this morning. Meanwhile, 8th graders will be wrapping up their academic planning sessions with the Yorktown counselors today during Wolf Time. Then over the next few weeks, everyone will get a chance to meet individually with your grade-level counselor. CRFs are due on February 24th — but don’t wait until the last minute!!

- Attention Ms. Warden’s and Ms. Woodbury’s 8th grade science classes! Students should report to the LIBRARY for class today. Once again, Ms. Warden’s and Ms. Woodbury’s science classes — don’t go to your classroom, go directly to the library. And be sure to bring all of your materials!

- Calling all 6th, 7th, and 8th graders!! All students must bring their iPads to PE this week for Physical Fitness Testing! When fitness testing is complete, you can lock your iPad in your PE locker. But DON’T FORGET them after class! Once again, everyone should bring your iPad to PE.
