Many of you have asked about Picture Day Makeup. It is Friday, Nov. 15 and will be handled like the original date. This means students will be called by classroom - please let your student know. This is also a picture RETAKE day. So, if you would like to retake your photos, please follow the same instructions and bring the old photos to return them. Order forms can be picked up in the Main Office or online. The MMS code is 20-44MM. Sixth and 8th grade students will be heading to the movie Harriet in town on Friday, Nov. 15. Permission slips went home last week and are due on Monday, Nov. 11. The cost is $7 and is cash only. Note that the field trip will not interfere with picture retakes. The 7th grade Block Party is set for Nov. 27, which is also a half day and the day before the Thanksgiving Break.
