End of School Year Schedule

May 7^th, 2012

Dear Parents/Guardians:

I cannot believe that it is already the end of the school year!  I am excited about all of the great things that happened this year and I’m sure that our students are ready for a well-deserved break.  The purpose of this letter is to provide you with information about the schedule for the last week of school.  The complete schedule for the last week of school is on this letter.  The schedule is also posted on the school’s website at www.chadronschools.org and on my blog page at http://mrdressel.blogspot.com.   Also, please be sure to return all books and math book CDs that you may have checked out from the school before May 18^th.

7^th and 8^th Grade Last Day of School

The last day of school for 7^th and 8^th graders will be on Thursday, May 17^th.  Students will take final exams and then be dismissed at 11:17.  Students may choose to eat lunch at school, but they don’t have to.  Please talk to your student about where they are supposed to go after they are dismissed.  7^th and 8^th graders will not be allowed to hang around the building and the expectation is that they leave campus.  Students should not bring book bags to school on the last day because they will not have a locker to store them in.  If they do bring a bag, I will collect them and keep them in the office.

The 7^th and 8^th grade awards ceremony will be held on May 17^th at 6:00 p.m. in the HS Auditorium.  In past years, the ceremony was held during the school day, but we moved the ceremony to the evening so more parents can attend.

5^th and 6^th Grade Last Day of School

The last day of school for 5^th and 6^th graders will be on Friday, May18th.  The 5^th and 6^th grade awards assembly will be held in the MS gym at 9:00 a.m.  Parents are welcome to attend.  If time allows, we will have activities set up until their dismissal at 11:15.  Following the students’ dismissal at 11:15, all students and parents (5th-8^th) are invited to a community picnic, which will be held behind the high school.  There is no cost, but we will take free-will donations to help cover the cost of food.  We hope to see many students, parents and community members there – the more the merrierJ!

Thank you for all that you do to support your student(s) and our school and if you have any questions, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Nick Dressel
