#6 Crusading with the Principal

CRUSADING FAMILIES


ATTENTION ALL 8th GRADE FAMILIES!!

We will be having a high school information meeting on Tuesday, September 26th, at 4:00 pm in Casas Room 106.  Please bring in any information you have that you think may be important (including copies of your sign-ins from last spring, if you still have them- if not, we should have copies) as well questions you have about the process.


Please keep in mind that the process is new all around, so if I don’t have answers to your questions at that moment, I will work to find the answers for you!


High school applications will open on October 2nd.


Daniel Murphy Scholarship

If your student is interested in attending one of the many private schools in the city and they have demonstrated outstanding academic and community achievement, please join us for a Daniel Murphy Scholarship meeting on Wednesday, September 27th, at 2:45 pm.  See the “8th Grade- All Things High School” link on our page, accessible through the both the “Students” and “Parents” menu.  


Progress Reports

Progress Reports went home today.  If you believe yours was lost between school and home, you can access the information through Parent Portal- the link is available in the “Parents” menu on our site.  Please remember that Progress Reports are a way of updating you about your students’ progress in their academics.  If you have questions, please ask your classroom teacher.


Title 1 and FUTURE Parents

Have you been asking  yourself how you fit into the picture of your student’s future?  Please join us for a series of workshops about how you can use our FUTURE values at school to be a FUTURE parent!  


Sessions will begin on Thursday, October 5th, at 4:00 pm.  See the calendar on the website for more details.  


This meeting will also be used as a time to discuss how to use our Title 1 funds to support this!  Please make sure to attend- your voice matters in your student’s FUTURE!

 
Focus- our value for September
Students worked to understand the meaning of "focus" during the month of September.  The practice of "focus" is important because it has a broad meaning and it is easy to lose our "focus" in our world today.  
 
On Wednesday, September 27th, students will be participating in a special "focus" celebration in the afternoon (weather permitting).  On this day, please make sure your student brings an old shirt, one that is ok to get messy!

TESTING….TESTING

I am testing to see how many of our families have started checking out our website!  You can let me know by doing one of two things- please start to follow us on Facebook (Casas- Acero Schools) and/or tell your student to tell me (Ms. Mix) the codeword on Monday- orange.
