[HenleyMatters] News and Information

[Hashisaki]

As the summer is winding down I thought I would share some news and  
information for the upcoming school year.  Enjoy the next 2 weeks!!

****************************

NEW FOR 2007-08!

As you prepare for the upcoming school year, please remember that  
students are not to be dropped off at school prior to 8:50 a.m. Last  
school year we had a number of students who arrived at school well  
before the supervised time began, thus creating a potentially  
dangerous situation. Our goals is to maintain a safe and orderly  
environment for your child, it is imperative that students not be in  
the building without proper adult supervision. Students who arrive  
between 8:50 and 9:00 will be asked to go to the cafeteria where  
supervision is available. We appreciate your assistance with this.

*************************

Important Dates:

Monday, August 20 -  New Student Orientation (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM)   
This is an opportunity for the students to meet their teachers and  
find their classrooms before the first day of school!

Wednesday, August 22 - FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Monday, September 3 - No School

Wednesday, September 5 - Back to School Night (7:00 - 9:00 PM)   
Students may attend but it is not a lot of fun for them!

middle school and high school level.

6th Grade Information & Supply List

Being a student in middle school is exciting and different.  Students  
take six classes and often
have six different teachers.  Your locker, rather than your desk,  
will hold your books and
belongings as you travel from class to class.

Please try to have the following items by August 22nd:

• A sturdy two-inch 3-ring notebook
• Subject dividers
• A dozen #2 pencils (wooden pencils preferred over mechanical)
• School-ruled notebook paper
• Several pens (blue, black, red or green)
• Two black and white marbleize composition books
• One zipper bag (to hold pencils and pens in front of notebook)
• A set of colored pencils and markers (optional)
• A four-function calculator
• A box of tissues

We will get acquainted on the first day of school.  Please bring a  
favorite snapshot of yourself
and be prepared to write down several things about yourself that are  
unique.  You will also get a
chance to walk through your schedule and practice opening your locker.

Students may use a backpack to carry books and supplies to and from  
school, but backpacks must
be kept in the lockers during the school day.  Students may not take  
backpacks to classes.  Often
students like to personalize their lockers by putting up mirrors,  
snapshots, posters, or even a copy
of their schedule.  Feel free to bring a few items to decorate your  
locker.  All items must be
removed at the end of the year, so please do not bring stickers.

We will have an orientation program on Monday, August 20th at 10:00  
am.  You should receive your
schedule in the mail about a week before school starts.  Bring your  
schedule with you to the
orientation so you can find your classes.  The first day of school is  
Wednesday, August 22nd.

We look forward to seeing you soon,

The Sixth Grade Teachers
