Posted on 26. Feb, 2010 by in Intermediate School News, Minutes


Although there was no report from the Intermediate School this month, Chuck Murphy supplied this information:

  • IS Night at the Basketball Game-Friday, February 5, was Intermediate School night at the boys basketball game. Student council helped to promote the event.  Ms. Shoenfelt led a group of fifth and sixth grade band students in playing the National Anthem.  Students and teachers played “knockout” during halftime. 
  • Progress Book- It is our hope that all parents will use Progress Book as an aid in communication about assignments, homework and student grades.  Please take the time to look at Progress Book on a regular basis.  If you have any questions, please contact your teacher or Mr. Murphy.
  • Family Movie Night-Friday, March 5, will be the Family Movie night at the Intermediate School Auditorium.  This is a change from went originally home with students on the first day of school.  Student council will be picking the movie and organizing the event.  It is a lot of fun and we hope to see you there. 
  • Conferences-Spring conferences will be in February 22 and 24.  We moved them up this year so that students would have more time to use the information from conferences to make improvements in the year.  It is up to the teachers and parents if a spring conference is needed.
  • Book Fair-Book Fair will be from March 1-8.  Barb Graham will be running the book fair through the library and a schedule will follow.  Thank you in advance for any parents willing to help.
  • Thank You-Thank you to the PTO for all your help and support.  It is a pleasure to work with you.
