End Of The Year Celebration

A permission slip will be coming home today and must be signed and returned by Friday. 

Dear Parents and Students,
  As we wind down the 2016-2017 school year, we are preparing for our end-of-the year celebration. As a grade level, we will be going to Cinemark on May 22nd to watch the movie “Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Long Haul. When we return to school, we will eat lunch together as a team. In the afternoon, we will walk to AMCMS to watch the Oakwood Faculty vs. Students basketball game. All students will have the opportunity to attend the movie, but will need to meet the guidelines below to attend the basketball game.  The cost of the movie will be $8.00 per child; this includes the movie and a Kid’s Movie Meal. The concession stand will not be open for students to buy additional snacks and no outside food is allowed.
 
GUIDELINES
If any of the following occur, a student will NOT be allowed to attend the basketball game. We have gone over these guidelines with the students, and we ask that you review it with your child as well.  Both you and your child need to sign the bottom of this page and return to the Success class teacher no later than Friday, March 31. These guidelines are effective immediately.  We expect students to be on their best behavior always…

1. No more than 2 referrals beginning now.   
2. Failing any core class/subject because of failure to complete and/or turn in assignments for the 6th six weeks.
3. Having a “U” in conduct on the report card for the 5th six weeks or on the progress report for the 6th six weeks.
4. Failure to return the signed form excludes your child from participating in the grade level celebration.

*ISS or OSS results in an automatic exclusion from the grade level celebration.
