Thanks to all of the amazing students who helped make the Middle School Dance a success. The setup and cleanup crew did an amazing job. A special shoutout to Charlotte (our president), Amelia, Framer, Madison, Shelby, Jack, Dyllan, and Alyssa for their leadership in setting up. And special shoutout to Ally and Tori for working so hard to make the gym look like a gym again after the dance.

8th graders trying to use a Jedi mind trick to force the class trip to happen in March.

Have a great week! ~ Rich Wuebbels
So, you talked throughout the lesson and now your math doesn't math.
Other Reminders:
Just remember Google Classroom is where everything is at. Your child's passwords are all on the first page of their planner so please feel free to copy those down and peek through their accounts often. Here is a video on how to navigate Google Classroom: https://youtu.be/qoOe3ir5iqQ
IXL grading is a little different from other assignments. A 90% "smart score" in IXL is equivalent to 100% in FastDirect. Anything over a 90% is worth up to one bonus point...they add up so I encourage students to try it (especially on the easier assignments).
Regular chapel can be viewed live on our Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3-agaQWl4BGu9bEAh1TbgQ, or on our Facebook page.
Each student's passwords are found in the student planner. Here you can find IXL, rocket math, email, and math textbook codes.
