CAFETERIA HOLIDAY LUNCHEON - The Cafeteria is hosting a Holiday Luncheon for parents and children this Friday right before Songfest.  For Menus and prices go to http://discoverycafeteria.blogspot.com

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.

THIS IS WHAT WE WILL BE COVERING DURING THE WEEK.

A new IXL username and password was provided several weeks ago. Students will now have until Sunday to work on their IXL skills. I will check the IXL reports every Monday.
