Week of 5/8/17- 5/12/17

Announcements and Reminders:

·      6^th graders do not participate in the Marlatt Field Day, but serve as helpers leading different stations. Some students will help on Monday and some on Tuesday. Please make sure they dress appropriately for helping and bring a water bottle.

·      This Wednesday, May 10^th all 6^th graders will walk to AMS at 8:55. They will tour the building, meet the principal and vice principal, have a question and answer session with current 7^th graders, and eat lunch in the AMS cafeteria. We will walk back after lunch. After the AMS visits students will be taking the math MAP test. Students need to give their best effort as this test will be used to place students into classes next year.

·      The Marlatt Volunteer Luncheon is Wednesday May 10^th to show our appreciation for the time and support parents have given to our school. Anyone who has volunteered is invited for lunch between 11:00 and 1:00 in the Marlatt library.

·      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.
