Elementary

Kindergarten Play: This Friday the Kindergarteners will be performing their first classroom play (not one to miss).  The show opens with a 6th grade recitation at 8:35.  All are welcome.

Spelling Bee: The 1st – 6th graders will be competing in an in-school spelling bee February 3rd.

Secondary

Physics & Calculus: Students who pass pre-calculus as juniors are allowed to take calculus their senior year. In order to be in physics you must also be enrolled in calculus, due to the integration between the two classes. A few parents have expressed an interest in having their children exposed to physics next year even though they are currently not enrolled in pre-calculus as juniors. The secondary staff put their heads together and we’ve come up with the following solutions:

1. During the summer between 11th and 12th grade, students are welcome to enroll in a college pre-calculus class or hire an approved tutor to guide their student through pre-calculus. If the student is successful in working through this material (70% or better), he would be allowed to take calculus and physics in 12th grade.

2. Seniors will be allowed to audit Physics and receive credit toward an independent study next year (Students who are auditing the class are not eligible for the physics trip.).

Please contact me if you would like to discuss these options further.

Cheers,

Matt Whitling
