FIRST AUCTION IS THIS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20!!
Students can bring items any time this week. The auction sign up (where they state their item and starting bid) will be out Monday AM.
6th grade students: Mrs. Reitz encourages you to be selling your coupon books! If you are not going to sell them, then your parents can write a check and send it with you for your part of the 6th grade activities.
Online math book
Both the 5th & 6th grade math books are available online to ALL students. We are currently working mostly out of the 6th grade book. If your child forgets the pages that I print off for them, they can access the same pages online.
Each 5th grade student received a sheet that gives them their username and password. Basically, their user name is their last name and first two letters of their first name.
The password is the first 2 letters of their last name and the first 2 letters of their first name PLUS 05. So mine would be pote05. All of it is lower case.
Example: My information would be as follows…
Username: porischte
Password: pote05 (or 06 if they are a 6th grader)
6th graders will get their printouts next week, but the setup is the same for username and passwords.
