Co-op Update — Final One!

Hi Co-op,

I have so loved our co-op this year — I can’t believe this is the final update!

Anyhow, a few friendly reminders:

1) Conferences.  We’re about halfway through conferences.  Here’s the schedule just in case.

2) Tuesday is conference release day.  Students should be picked up at 10:31am.

3) Thursday is our next ADSTG.  Students should come prepared for their activity.  (Sunscreen!)

4) Friday:  all gear should be at school for fall trip (except for a backpack with supplies for Monday — they can bring that in on Monday.). The packing list is here.  We’ll also be shopping for food on that day.  We really need one gallon jugs for icing coolers — if you have those, please bring them in.

5) At the conclusion of this email/blog entry, I’ve put the schedule for Spring trip fyi…  We should be back around 4pm on Friday.

6) The week of May 21st is dedicated to clean-up and closure.  We’ll be swimming on Wednesday, May 23rd so students should definitely bring a swimsuit on that day.  8th grade field trip is on May 22nd.  Continuation will be at Platt for 8th graders on the evening of May 23rd.  Please refer to the CHOICE weekly for details.

7) We are still waiting on a final clean-up day.  Encourage your student to start bringing home materials now.  Our last academic day of the year is this Wednesday — so students should start clearing their locker now.

8) Look out for 3rd trimester progress reports for math and LA.  Students should be sharing these with you before the end of the year.  Those should be available in the coming days.

Thanks so much for all your support and for making this such.a terrific year.  -Josh Feiger
