Last Call: Math Club Interest (Gr. 7 & 8)
Calling all 7th & 8th grade students who are interested in problem solving and having fun while building confidence with respect to Math: One of our awesome parent volunteers has offered to host the SJS Math Club again this year if there are enough interested students. The group would meet from 2:00pm – 2:45pm on the dates of October 30, November 27, and December 11.
Participation is free and will use the Mathcounts platform, however if there is enough interest the group may participate in the competition portion of the program (which would cost $35 per student).
Please COMPLETE THIS FORM (click link) to let us know if your student would like to participate (form will close Monday morning).
Tomorrow’s Buses
Due to the 12:05pm dismissal tomorrow (Wednesday) we WILL have all of our buses (instead of the typical combined Wednesday routes). Please be sure you communicate to your child and their teacher how your student will be getting home tomorrow if this presents a change from normal Wednesday dismissal plans.
