First Week Back!

Monday August 26 - Friday August 30

This week in Driver's Education, 1st and 2nd period, we will be learning about the basics of the Pennsylvania Junior Learner's Permit and the Pennsylvania Junior Driver's License. You will also be creating your own license plates that show some characteristics of the state of Pennsylvania and some characteristics about yourself. You will receive more details in class. Your license plate project is due Wednesday August 28th.

Physical Education classes will be getting an introduction and reviewing the rules/expectations for the year on both the first and second days of school. Starting Wednesday August 28th every student is expected to bring a proper change of clothing that abides by the North Schuylkill Dress code. A change of shirt, shorts, and SNEAKERS are required for students to participate. If a child does not have sneakers they cannot participate, it is a safety issue. This means no crocs, uggs, boots, or flip flops.

This week we will be doing kickball, so get ready to go outside and enjoy some sunshine with your friends! Welcome back Spartans! I'm looking forward to a fantastic year!
