*Parents: We are sensitive to the availability of the Internet. The large majority of the students have access at home. There were only a few students who mentioned that they did not have access. However, upon further inquiry, we have been made aware that the students had access to smart phones at home. On line assignments can be completed from any mobile device. Students can also use free Internet service at the public library. "Online homework" can be submitted in the traditional manner i.e. written on lined paper. Students just need to make sure that the assignment is labeled with their name and homebase color. Please be careful about typing the URL addresses we give you and make sure you know when your student is online. We cannot control what is on the Internet.

HELP PARENTS! We still need a few parents to watch our classes this Friday from 8:30-9:00. You may volunteer to help with another homebase class. The students will be reading, in the media center, or in the computer lab. You will just need to monitor. It's important for us to have time to specifically talk about how to help different groups of students. We want all of the students to master skills and have a great sixth grade experience. If you could possibly help out with this Friday, please email a teacher. Thank You!

Here at our 6th Grade Falcon Academy, we encourage our students to serve others. The Yellow Group had an opportunity this morning to practice Habit 6: Synergize and they provided service to our custodian. The job of cleaning up the auditorium after last night's Back to School Night took only a few minutes because everyone worked together. Bradley was a great leader that made sure that chairs were placed on the rack correctly. Service opportunities will be available throughout the year for all 6th grade classes to practice working together as a team. At Falcon Academy, Teamwork and Service helps everyone!
