RM Bacon Weekly: February 16

February 16 - 20

Bacon Bears,

There is no school on Tuesday, February 17, 2015 due to in-climate weather :(

Focusing on Today, Tomorrow and the Future!

It is clear that we are in the cold part of winter! The past few weeks we have seen some frigid temperatures, and it looks like this week will be more of the same. Be sure to bundle up, and please know that we do not have Safety Patrol on duty outside if it is under 20 degrees!

We had our first Valentines Day Dance in quite a long time! The dance was a success! The students had a great time. I want to thank all of the parent volunteers for helping us out. A big shout out to Mr. and Mrs. Cooper for being the DJs.

The students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades are in PARCC mode. They have been testing out the laptops, and even logging onto a few of the practice sites to get prepared. The first set of assessments will be upon us in a few short weeks. I hope everyone received their letter about the PARCC and the PARCC Parent Night scheduled for Tuesday, February 17, 2015 @ 6:00 PM at Lakeside Middle School. This session will be very informative for parents and community members.

Our district has created a site for PARCC resources: Click here
