Camelot Update 9/1/13

Greetings!  I hope that you have found a way to work some of this beautiful weather into your weekend.  The blue skies and sunny days gave us a great backdrop for this past week of settling in.  We have just three days this week before our much-anticipated Faculty Retreat and then the year will fully unfold.

PLEASE BE SURE TO COMPLETE THE FACULTY RETREAT FORM THAT YOUR STUDENT BROUGHT HOME AND RETURN IT TOMORROW. (You can print out another copy from our website here:   http://www.camelotacademy.org/admin/editor_assets/documents/1314-retreat_form.pdf ).  It is very important that we have 100% representation of our student body on these feedback forms.  Do you have an idea, question or comment you want shared when the faculty reviews your student? Please record it on the form.  Do you have a request for a peer tutor?  Note it there.  Just want to tell us you are happy?  That's great too - write it on the form and share the love!  Please return the ACTUAL form to us - don't send an email in lieu of the form - it makes organization much easier on our end if we have a physical form for each student.
On behalf of all of us that comprise Team Camelot - thank you, in advance, for helping us carve out the time for these important meetings.  We appreciate the cooperation and commitment of all.

As noted above, school is closed and there are no classes this Thursday and Friday.  Optional Care is available for Lower and Middle Grades students - with limited space remaining.  Please email Ms. Lynne (lynne@camelotacademy.org) to sign up, as Ms. Wendy has Monday off.

First Lego League (FLL) will start to hold weekly meetings as of tomorrow (Monday) after school from 3:30 to 5:00 PM. Meetings will be held upstairs.  If you are interested in joining the RoboKnights please turn in your signed Team Agreement contract to Ms. Lynne or Ms. Amanda and join us Monday after school.

All of our other Fall Clubs will launch at the end of this month.  I am looking for someone to sponsor a chess club after school.  If you are interested and available please let me know.

Tuesday is the sign up deadline for the Middle Grades October trip to the mountains.  Sign up form and details are here:

Our Soccer Knights started the year well - and the team has picked up several players in the last few days.  We are excited about the season ahead and look forward to cheering our players on. The home game this week is on Thursday, a day on which school is not in session.  Any fans who can show up at Piney Wood Park on Thursday at 4:30 PM will be greatly appreciated by Coach Carlos and his team.

I truly look forward to the hard and important work of Faculty Retreat and fine-tuning the year on behalf of your family.  I hope that you have a great week.

Best,
Thelma
