WEEK OF 4/24/17- 4/28/17

·      This week is International Week. Students will hear from speakers about places and cultures all over the word.

·      The month of April and May is really full with extra school activities. Please be sure to review the school calendar on the Marlatt website and the 6^th grade newsletter to stay up-to-date on events.

·      Also please be aware that students with an F in any class will be required to work on missing work or corrections during upcoming fun activities that are not a part of a class assignment (ie. FIT 6, 6^th grade picnic, etc.). This is consistent with both AMS and EMS policies.

·      We are beginning to collect pictures for the 6^th grade end of the year slide show. Please send those pictures via email or flash drive to Mrs. Sibbitt. We are specifically looking for 4-6 school age photos of your child alone or with a group at a school event. These will be put into a slide show that will be played at the 6^th grade transition ceremony.

·      FIT 6 is tomorrow Tuesday, April 25, at Bishop Stadium in Cico Park, 9:30-1:30! Parents are welcome to attend. Students with an F in any class will not be allowed to go. We will walk to Cico Park from Marlatt and we will leave at 9:00, so please make sure students arrive to school on time. They will need to wear athletic wear and bring a sacked lunch, unless they signed up to get one from the cafeteria. Lunch bottles will be provided for students.  We will be outside for most of the day, so sunscreen is recommended for anyone who might get a sunburn.
