THE BUZZ FROM MS. GEMO | LOWER SCHOOL NEWS - GRADES PRESCHOOL-3
UPPER SCHOOL NEWS - GRADES 4-8 | HSA

We are almost through our first full week of school! Over the next few weeks, we’ll be back in to the full swing of it all - starting next week with our first iReady Diagnostics of the school year for 1st through 8th grades (Kindergarten will take theirs in a few weeks). For both Wednesday and Thursday, it’s really important that the students get a good night’s sleep, have a healthy breakfast and arrive at school on time. The Diagnostics will begin shortly after our morning announcements - when students are on time it allows them to feel more settled and confident going into the diagnostics. Next week, we’ll begin with the math section. Aside from the above, there is nothing else needed to prepare for the diagnostic.

On Friday evening we’ll host our annual Parent Mixer in the courtyard from 7:00 - 10:00 pm. It’s always one of my favorite events of the year. Be sure to find that babysitter and then come join us for some delicious food and drinks!

Ms. Gemo is posting information in the main section of the Buzz about Mastery Based Learning (MBL), I encourage you to check it out if you haven’t done so.

Thanks to everyone for a great first two weeks of school! I’m hope you all have a great long weekend -if you’re anything like me, you’re very excited about College Football returning this weekend. Go Irish!

Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Metz
