Kudos to our Ultimate Frisbee team which won BOTH of their games this week! What a great start! The team has a home game again this Wednesday at 4 PM. After Spring Break we will run the bus to a home game or two to facilitate fan turnout.
Our England travelers are doing very well albeit braving the cold, wind and rain of the season. They have toured castles, cathedrals and small towns, explored Stonehenge and seen the Magna Carta. There is much more to come as they make their way to London - which is expecting snow! Pictures coming to our website soon!
Mid-Semester Reports have been mailed for Kindergarten, Jr and Sr MAPP students. The Achieve Portal has been opened for Middle and Upper School parents to view grades. Mid-Semester Warnings were also mailed home and should be returned, with a parent signature, by this Wednesday. Many thanks to Ms. Lynne for the tremendous job pulling all of this info together!
As we prepare for the last vacation of the school year (Spring Break) we ask you to please note the following:
Tuesday - no dance club. This and the prior missed class will be made up before the Evening of the Arts (May 3). Due to the number of students on school trips, this session will be more productive when everyone returns.
Wednesday (midnight) - lunch order deadline for the week of April 8-12.
Thursday - SCHOOL CLOSED AT 3:30 PM FOR SPRING BREAK! (no study hall, clubs, or regular after care) Optional Care available by advance sign up - contact Ms. Wendy at wendy@camelotacademy.org. (Ultimate Frisbee team WILL practice.)
School reopens on Monday, April 8.
A reminder to Juniors and their parents - college "homework" is due on Tuesday, April 9.
I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Spring Break and return ready to participate in the very exciting final weeks of the school year.
