Hello 5/6 Science Families!
We have one more week before spring break! Where has the time gone? I hope your family will enjoy a restful and fun spring break!
Optional photographs of students will be on Wednesday, March 11. Students were given order forms today. These photos need to be prepaid either online or using the envelope sent home with students. This will be a FREE DRESS DAY for students who are purchasing photos. You can pre-pay online:
www.bellphoto.com. The password is: asuprep
AZMerit testing will be coming the week of April 13. More information will be coming in regards to this test. We are also discussing the testing procedures with your children because the test will all be online. You can access more information about the test on the ADE website.
April 16 - April 20 is ASU Prep official Spring Break.
Please support your child's homeroom teacher by making a donation to the spring picnic baskets. My basket is gift cards. SADNESS - I have not received any donations for our basket. If you have extra gift cards that you haven't used or even if you pick up a gift card at one of the gift card centers. I picked it because I thought it would be SUPER easy for families to make a donation. I hope you will be able to make a contribution! The event will be March 26th from 3:00 - 6:00.
Talent show is March 26 at 6:00 pm at the Aravipa Auditorium on ASU poly campus.
Please watch for a sign up genius. We are looking for donations of gatorade and snacks that students can purchase with "money they have earned that is in their checkbooks." It is nice for them to buy something!
Don't forget that science camp is right around the corner. May 20-22. Keep making payments! It is going to be a GREAT camp!
A BIGGS thank you for all of your support and help!
yours in science,
Mrs. Bigg

Thank you for sharing your children with us each day! They are bright, intelligent, clever, funny, kind, empathetic, honest, hard working, and chatty.

Field Trip February 6, 2015
February 4, 2015
Hello 5th and 6th Grade Families,
All of the 5th and 6th graders are taking a walking field trip to ASU on Friday, February 6, 2015. In order for your child to attend the signed release from ASU School of Engineering needs to be signed and returned by Thursday. I can accept it Friday morning, but I am finalizing all the groups/chaperones on Thursday. Your child WILL NOT be able to attend this walking field trip if the signed release has not been returned. I have talked with every student today who DOES NOT have a release that has been returned. I offered 2nd and 3rd copies to students. I have extras hanging on the board in my room. It is going to be a GREAT opportunity and experience. There will not be time to call parents on Friday morning to bring forgotten permission slips because we are leaving by 8:45 at the latest. If your child does not have a signed release they will remain here on campus and have alternative work.
I also sent home a 1/2 sheet of paper requesting parent volunteers. I have contacted parents about chaperoning that day. If you have not heard from me or have a question regarding chaperoning, please email me ASAP. Parent volunteers/chaperones need to meet by my classroom by 8:40 at the latest. You will receive a map, a group list, and an itinerary. If you submitted a request to be a chaperone and have not heard from me, please contact me. ruth.biggs@asu.edu
Thank you for your continued support of your child's education!
Best regards,
Mrs. Biggs
