INFORMATION FOR PARENTS:

FROM THE SCHOOL’S CAFETERIA Please visit the Cafeteria blog http://discoverycafeteria.blogspot.com/ for information on the delicious Pecan, Apple and Pumpkin pies that can be ordered for your Thanksgiving celebrations. The cafeteria is also offering a meal for the classroom festivities at a very attractive price

DONATIONS NEEDED:  Don’t forget to send in cereal boxes for Ya Tengo Donde Escribir” between now and November 20. The grade that brought the most boxes will be awarded a pizza party or ice cream party! Please help us help those in need!   

PASSING GRADE ACCORDING TO THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION - We would like to remind parents that the passing grade, according to new regulations, is 70% for the Ministry of Education. Your child needs to score at least 70% in order to avoid coming to recuperation exam/s. We encourage you to check blogs and Engrade on a weekly basis, and to keep close communications with teachers.

STUDY SKILLS WORKSHOPS - To help improve students' overall academic performance we will be offering the following mandatory Study Skills Workshops taking place at the Library:
  • Middle School (grades 6-8): Wednesday, November 13, from 8:00-9:40 am
  • High School (grades 9-12): Wednesday, November, 13 from 10:00-11:40 am
These workshops are geared to students in particular. On a later date, we will offer workshops that are more focused on parental support at home.

UNIVERSITY VISITS - The University of Michigan and Hope College will be visiting us on Tuesday, November 12 at 10:00 am.

THIS IS WHAT WE WILL BE COVERING DURING THE WEEK.
