Dear Fifth Grade Parents,
Last week we sent home an exciting letter about 5th grade graduation activities. We hope you have all had the opportunity to read the letter by now. It is important that you return the completed order form on the bottom of the letter and $15 to your child's teacher by Friday, May 11. The form allows you to order the t-shirt size you need for your child, as well as order additional slices of pizza for yourself and your guests. For your convenience, we have attached a copy of the form. We are looking forward to celebrating this milestone with you on June 7th!
Thanks,

Dear Parents,
It is hard to believe it is finally here, but after six years of classroom learning, field trips, fabulous teachers, friends, homework packets, projects and Wednesday folders, our fifth graders are going to GRADUATE on Thursday, June 7th! We are planning a very special day to honor these students for this wonderful accomplishment!
The tentative schedule for graduation is:
8:30 – 9:30 Light breakfast in the cafeteria for 5th graders and their graduation guests
9:30 – 11:00 Graduation in the gymnasium
11:00 Party for graduates and guests outside at the carpool loop
We need your HELP to make this day memorable for our fifth graders! Please send $15/child to cover the following expenses associated with the graduation festivities:
· Class of 2012 t-shirt
· Pizza (2 slices per graduate) and drink
· Dessert
· Light breakfast in the cafeteria prior to the graduation ceremony
Please fill out the following form, enclose $15 (cash or check made out to JYJ PTA), and return it to your child’s teacher by Friday, May 11.
Thanks!

Important.....If you haven't sent in a baby picture and/ or returned your child's middle school folder to Ms. Burston please do so as soon as possible. Thank you. :)
EOG's ........Time to begin thinking about being in EOG mode next week. We will begin testing on Wed. May 16th with the reading portion of the EOG. Thursday and Friday will be the math section and the following Tues. May 22nd will be the science portion of the test.
Please make sure your child is getting plenty of rest, a good breakfast and arrives to school on time! I encourage comfortable clothes and a light jacket that can be easily taken on/off.
Testing days are long and so having some down time when they arrive home is a great idea as well. Thanks so much for your assistance ..it is greatly appreciated. We will have the much looked forward to EOG pep assembly this Friday at 2:00.
