The Countdown Begins!

Three weeks of regular classes left: 15 school days.
Three days of final exams (and one performance).
One day at the very end for an all-school Awards Assembly.
19 days total.

WOW!

There is much to do in these final weeks and it's going to be hard for all of us to keep our focus. However - focus we must!

The final Drama productions and the Sixth Grade End-of-the-Year celebration are slated for TUESDAY, MAY 25 at 6:00 PM in the Zelman Center. All students will have the final part of their play on Monday, May 3. There will be TWO (two) dress rehearsals for EACH production (both Room 503 & 506 have their own play they will be performing): one on Saturday, May 22 (times TBD) and then another one during school time on Monday, May 24. I will be sending information home (paper copy) on Monday. I appreciate everyone's help and cooperation - I know I am asking a lot of you and the students.

The schedule for each Sixth Grade Final Exam will be given the week prior to Finals Week (by Monday, May 17). Please note, the basic schedule as follows:
Monday, May 24:
8:25 AM - 10:25 AM, Final #1
10:25 AM - 10:35 AM: Break
10:40 AM - 12:40 PM: Final #2
Tuesday, May 25:
8:25 AM - 10:25 AM, Final #3
10:25 AM - 10:35 AM: Break
10:40 AM - 12:40 PM: Final #4
Wednesday, May 26:
8:25 AM - 10:25 AM, Final #5
10:25 AM - 10:35 AM: Break
10:40 AM - 12:40 PM: Final #6
*Each Classroom 503/506 will have their dress rehearsal during the #1 final slot or the #2 final slot. During one of the final slots on Tuesday (either #4 or 5), both classrooms will join together to prepare for that evening's festivities. This time slot will be announced when the Finals' schedule is determined.

This weekend our students are enjoying their last R & R weekend of the school year and I hope that gives them some extra energy for the final haul.

Mrs. Stoyanoff and I will be doing our best to keep you abreast of all that's going on in the next few weeks as best we can. However, if you have any questions or need clarification, please don't hesitate to email.

Enjoy your weekend!

Cheers,
Ms. Nicky Pitman
