• COME ONE, COME ALL to the Family Gathering this Friday October 1st!!!! Our class will be putting on a wonderful show to that will entertain all! Show your support and expect lots of SMILES!!!!
• Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held the week of October 4th-8th. Please arrive on time so that we can get the most out of our discussion.
• The Awards Assembly will be held on Thursday, October 7th at 8:10.
• There have been some changes in MCS visitor policy. The change that will affect our school the most is the identification of field trip drivers as Level II: Monitored Volunteers. If you ever plan to drive on a field trip please come to school at your earliest convenience to complete a Level II screening. I am told that it only takes 5 minutes, but it must be completed on a MCS network computer. The media center is open each day from 7:30-3:00 if you are interest in completing the screening. Until we have a sufficient amount of parents cleared through the Level II screening, we will be unable to have field trips.

• We need several parents to volunteer monitor (substitute teach) classes while the Campus School Faculty redesign curriculum. Normally, the teaching assistants would fill this void, but they were not retained by MCS. Each grade level has assigned curriculum planning days throughout the entire school year, and spaces for volunteers for each day and class are listed below. Please sign up for a day to help Campus School, and to "walk a mile" in your teacher's shoes!

• I would like to send out a special thanks to Mrs. Dendra Tomlinson. She has so graciously organized our classroom library with the Dewey Decimal System. She also gave the students a crash course on how to use the system and take care of our wonderful library! We have over 1000 books! AWESOME!!!!
