In Preparation for NatureBridge…
Thursday, February 2: 7th & 8th graders will hike through Lincoln Park along the coast towards Land’s End, past the Cliff House to Ocean Beach. After a break for lunch and some fun, they will hike back and arrive at school by 3:00. Students should bring a hearty lunch, a water bottle and good walking shoes. This is the perfect time to break in any new shoes (and raingear).
Thursday, February 9: The 7th and 8th grade classes will have a chance to perfect their ice skating moves at Yerba Buena rink. They will be gone from 10:30 to 3pm, so please make sure your child brings a hearty lunch, a water bottle and good walking shoes.

Seventh Grade Parent Information Night – February 1, from 6 to 7pm
A note from Ms. Dharmer
All 7th grade parents are encouraged to attend this information session with Ms. Dharmer regarding the upcoming research paper. This project spans one-and-a-half trimesters and accounts for a significant part of your child’s grade. Even if another of your children has already had this wonderful experience, we would love for you to attend. The information is a great refresher and you, as a veteran, can offer helpful insight to other parents. For new folks, this gathering ensures that we will all be on the same page and able to provide solid support for your child’s long term learning adventure.
The session will be held on Wednesday, February 1st, from 6-7 pm.
Looking forward to seeing everyone! Please RSVP to me as soon as you can: dlmckee99@aol.com

Summer School 2017 is now Scheduled
We believe that summer is a great opportunity to engage children in activities that enrich their academic foundation and keep them involved and interested in learning. Therefore, we will offer one five-week academic session this summer. The dates are June 19 to July 21.
Brochures and registration will be available in February. We hope you will be able to use this program, as it is a worthwhile experience for any child. Also, we appreciate you letting your friends know of this program since it is open to students in any school.
