WEEK OF 5/1/17- 5/5/17

·      This is the last week to send in pictures for the 6^th grade end of the year slide show. We are specifically looking for 4-6 school age photos of your child alone or with a group at a school event. You can send a snapshot or school picture even if your child wasn’t at Marlatt. Please send those pictures via email or flash drive to Mrs. Sibbitt. These will be put into a slide show that will be played at the 6^th grade transition ceremony.

·      There is NO SCHOOL on Friday May 5^th for teacher professional development.

·      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. 6^th grade picnic, etc.). This is consistent with both AMS and EMS policies.
