EPCOT UPDATE

Our trip to Epcot is TOMORROW!!! Here are a few last minute reminders....
  • You should arrive at JLCP at 6:30 AM. Attendance must be taken and seats assigned. Our buses must pull out on time.
  • Your meal ticket will be issued to you. Your group should try to eat somewhere adventurous.
  • You may want to bring some spending money. Whatever you bring is what you will have. Put it in a safe spot and don't wave it around.
  • If you choose to bring things with you to help pass the time, remember YOU will be responsible for them. Make sure your name is on your "toys". If your toys play music make sure your playlist does not contain offensive songs. If you lose your toys that is your responsibility. Choose wisely as you pack your stuff.
  • Dress according to the student code of conduct. You are not going to the beach- you are on a school trip so dress like you are going to school. I recommend that you wear shoes not flip-flops and maybe not even sandals so that your feet are protected. Lab shoes rule!!
  • You should use sunscreen  and maybe wear a hat - it's supposed to be a nice day.
  • If you carry a backpack or a purse you may be held up at the entrance while your bag is searched. Try to be economical with what you choose to bring with you.
  • We will leave the park at a set time. Do not make your group late to the bus. We must leave on time so that we can be back on time.
  • We will be back at 9:00PM.
You may call your parents to confirm our ETA after we pass St. Augustine. That will give them a heads up. If you don't plan to bring your phone make arrangements for a friend to call their parents who can then call your parents.

Parents, please be on-time to pick up your child. Remember, it will be a long day for all of us and teachers still need to drive home after the trip.

BRING YOUR TEXTBOOKS TO SCHOOL ON TUESDAY, 06/07/2100

Textbooks will be collected Tuesday starting at 7:55 AM until 8:35 AM. YOU must turn in all of your textbooks at this time.

Locker clean-out will be on wednesday morning. You will need to be prepared to carry EVERYTHING with you so you might want to take some home tomorrow and throw junk away ASAP. Bring a sturdy bag to carry home your shelves and other treasures. Teachers are in the process of moving this week so they probably won't have any extra bags or boxes for you to use. BE PREPARED !!!

GRADE UPDATE

I have updated all grades as of 6:05 PM today. If you see a 50 in the booklet spot that means you haven't turned in your complete booklet and will need to turn it in on MONDAY. I will not take booklets after 7:50 AM on Monday. We have too much to do to get ready for our fun-filled day.

I am still accepting catch up work for students who signed for the assignments. You must turn that in by 7:45 AM on Monday. The excuses I might accept are few and far between so don't plan on being late and don't do an "I forgot it in the car, at my other parent's house, the computer was broke, our printer ran out of ink" type of excuse because I am just not going to accept late work.
