TRADITIONAL SCHOOL CALENDAR
Limo List is back!!!!!!!!!
Every week before a Saturday School the principal runs a report to see who has perfect attendance (0 absences, 0 tardies). Those names get added to the limo list. Anyone whose name is not on the list has an absence or a tardy to clear. Absences and tardies get cleared by going to Saturday School from 9-1.
Exceptions: religious holiday
Our parents can check with Ms. Amanda just in case.
If our names are still on the Limo List at the end of May, we will quality to go get ice-cream in a limousine! Pretty cool. Huh?

What is the IB Learner Golden Pencil all about?
Each of the students listed weekly at IB Learners of the Week have demonstrated at least one of the International Baccalaureate Learner Profile traits. For example, in Mr. Schwarz class, Darius was recognized for turning something in that was left on the playground, or being principled. Each week, the IB Learner of the Week receives a golden IB Learner Pencil and a mention in The Buzz.
