Middle School Happenings

Parent Teacher Conferences were very successful this year. I visited with forty parents. I think that is a new record. I would be very interested in hearing about your conference experience. Did you like attending the student led conferences? Do you have any suggestions for improvement? If you would like to comment you can either post to my blog (only I will see it) or you can e-mail me here at school.

I was also impressed with how many parents are already users of our Infinite Campus system. I feel that this is a very beneficial tool for parents and students. I hope that those of you who received passwords tonight will find it beneficial. I know that as a parent I do!

Next week we are going to try to make up our Community Clean Up Day. We had to cancel it earlier this year due to inclement weather and a large number of student who were ill. We will try to make that up on Tuesday, November 10. Remind your student to dress for the weather. We will be making the final decision about this on Monday. Your student will be informed before they leave. Also, the EBMS band will be out of the building on Wednesday morning. They have been asked to play at a Veteran's Day celebration at the park in Blakesburg. I think it's great that the community will get to see, and hear, our wonderful band. These students work very hard, and you should be very proud of them.
