April is Here!

     Well, it looks like it is finally spring!  We are entering into the crazy busy time of year for everyone.  We are busy working on our play, which we will be presenting on April 28th.  Please talk to your student about what they are doing for their costume if they need one.  This should be a lot of fun! 
     We have some field trips coming up.  We will be going to the Marshall County Court House on April 23 for our LEAD trial.  We have been having speakers in to talk to us about different aspects of our legal system.  LEAD stands for Legal Education to Arrest Delinquency.  This is a great program that ends with a Mock Trial.  Our big field trip is a trip to Notre Dame on May 7th.  We are able to take parents to this trip but per a new school board policy parents must ride the bus with us.  Look for permission slips to come home soon.  We will number the parent volunteers as they come in and will take them first come first served.  (We are able to have 20 parents for our team.)  This is a fun trip but a lot of walking. 
    We are having our Explorations this week and this is something students really look forward to each year.  That will make this week go even faster. 
    We had our first virtual day this weekend with our next one this coming weekend.  Students must have their work completed by Tuesday of this week to count for our first day.  Thanks for your help in making things run smoothly.  We did not get many questions over this first week's assignments and it seems like the students who worked on their assignments over the weekend did a nice job and got their work completed.  We still have some students that need to finish and we hope that by Tuesday they are all done! 
      Next week, Echo is going to be going through an update from Friday evening at 9:00p.m. until Saturday evening.  Due to the Echo issue our PBL students will have until Wednesday of next week to turn in their virtual work.  We will make sure students have the information they need so that they can work on most of their work on Saturday they will just not be able to access Echo.    We appreciate your help and know that we are just an email or Google Doc away to help answer questions. 

    Have a great week!
