WELCOME BACK!

To my eighth grade parents and students,
    

        Welcome to your eighth and final year at St. Ann School!  As soon as we return in September we will begin preparing for the TACHS Exam, which is November 2nd this year.  Starting on August 20. you can register your child to take the exam at REGISTER HERE 

     Over the summer, please print up the following forms and bring them in the first day of school:     Affadavit for Parent-Student Handbook,  Asbestos Letter, Email Update Form, Home-Language Questionnaire, Income Survey, Media Authorization and Release, New York State TB Loan, Pesticide Notification, and Technology Use/Telecommunications Policy.  These forms can be printed from the parent tab on the school website.

       All of your summer assignments are due the first day of school, September 6th.  They are all due on Google Classroom with the exception of the 9/11 artwork tribute.  If I do not have these assignments, you will receive a zero.  You will need three book sox for your textbooks, as well as the supplies that were listed on the summer assignment.

      The first day of school will be a 12:00 dismissal.  Monday, September 10th is parent orientation at night.  We have off September 25th.

     I am really looking forward to having this class!  Since you are such a small class, there is so much I can do with you.  I plan on small and whole group instruction and taking different class trips to enrich our learning!  I encourage you to get involved with everything you can.  There are so many outlets for you to explore your talents...Yearbook, Student Council, YCS, Drama, sport teams, ITV, talent shows, and the lip sync...it is through these activities that you will make your best memories!  Try to volunteer somewhere over the summer to help build your resume if you are applying for scholarships for high schools.  Enjoy the sun, beach, and your family! 

                                                                 <3 Gratefully yours,

                                                                                     Mrs. G
