SNOW DAYS The district will be making an official ruling to add days to the end of the school year in February, so I am waiting to hear from them before I change anything in OdysseyWare or Accel Ed. To see the current projected finish date for your student in OdyssyWare, login as them, click on LEARN, click on any course, and then expand the last unit. The final test due date is the day your student will be done. In Accelerate Ed, the final day is currently June 9. I will be giving you all an option to finish with the current projected due date, or have dates added to the end of the year. You don't have to decide until February, and by then, your student may already be caught up! So, please think about it and let me know if you have any questions.
COATS FOR RECESS Please make sure your student comes to face-to-face class with a warm coat because of the cold, wet weather. Hats, gloves, and scarves are also okay.

Please let me know if you or your student is going to be attending the field trip. You will need to arrive at HOA between 8:00-8:15 the morning of the field trip. We will be leaving on the bus at 8:30 and arriving back by 12:00. Please pack a snack for the ride home. There will be a combined 3rd-8th grade PE following the field trip from 12:00-1:00. I am looking for parent volunteers, so please let me know if you would like to come. Students must have a current field trip permission slip on file with us as well as a photo release from the Oregon Food Bank. Photo Release forms can be found in the FORMS tab on my website, mrskellar.weebly.com or at HOA on the morning of the field trip.
