Parents! Signup sheets for conferences are up in the entranceway to the Prisms' River Classroom, and slots are going fast! Check in soon to make sure you get your choice of time, and remember that conferences will be with the teacher, parent and Prism student.
Parent Meeting Tues., 12/14, 6:30-8 PM The meeting will take place in the third-floor classroom. We will start planning for Coffeehouse, Graduation (which is put on by the 7th Grade parents) and let you know what's coming up for 8th Grade Project.
Fri., 12/17 - 6-7-8 Dance!: A production of HCCPS Student Council and the dance committees, we invite HCCPS students in grades 6-8 to get their best moves on from 8-11 PM. A snack or drink to share is your admission ticket! We'll also be collecting canned goods to donate to the Food Bank at the door, so if you can, bring a can.
We need tissues! Cold season is upon us and we need nice tissues for sore noses. If every Prism family donated one box of tissues, that would almost certainly get us through the worst of tissue season.
