First Quarter Incentive

The first quarter incentive is coming soon. The end of the quarter is October 9. We will be doing our incentive on Friday, October 23, and the Sixth Grade students who qualify for the incentive will be going to the YMCA in Edwardsville to roller skate. Students must meet the quarterly incentive requirements in order to attend. Your child will know by October 16, whether or not he/she will be attending. The cost will be $3.00. We will be eating sack lunches at the YMCA. Your child may bring a sack lunch or can order one through the cafeteria, which will be deducted from your child’s lunch account. Your child may bring additional money for concessions at the rink if you wish. We will be leaving at approximately 9:45 A.M., and we will return around 2:00 P.M. Please have your child’s money and permission slips returned by October 16, to your child’s Advisory teacher. If your child ends up not qualifying for this incentive, his/her money will be refunded in full.
