Be in the Know
*Yosemite: Our trip to Yosemite is next week, Feb 11-13 (W-F). Students not attending the trip need to confirm with us on whether their student will be doing an independent study on campus with the Intermediate class, or will do an independent study at home (will be marked absent if they stay home).
*Family Harvest Farm (1/3 of class): We are continuing trips to the farm by sending out 15 students at a time. We need drivers for these trips. This week’s trip may need to be cancelled unless at least one parent volunteers. Please look at the list to see when your student will be going, and email us if you can drive. Drivers need to be at campus by 9:35am, and we will leave the farm to come back to campus around 11:45am (drivers do not need to stay, but make sure you are back to bring us back). Drivers need to have a copy of their 100,000/300,000 liability car insurance on file in the office to drive. Students not attending the farm will have regular morning rotations.
*School Spirit Day: Pajama day will be this Friday 2/6.
