This letter about our Darien Lake field trip was on the back of our weekly news before break. A purple copy is also being sent home today!

Dear Families,

Your child deserves to be celebrated. The educational journey that they have been on as students at Village has demanded them to be internationally-minded, reflective, and responsible learners. Aside from that, they “made” it! The end is in sight, and with that comes our annual trip to Darien Lake. This year’s trip is set to take place on Monday June 20, 2016.

With this comes the expectation that all students have EARNED the trip. Please refer to the chart below to see specific criteria that we use to determine if your child is eligible to go.

What do I need to do to go to Darien Lake with my classmates?

ü  You need to have earned 80% of classroom points by being respectful, responsible, and ready to learn! This includes: behavior, homework completion and overall effort.

ü  You need to have less than three referrals to the office.

ü  You need to have performed an act of service to our school such as being a reading buddy, being on student council, being an ambassador of kindness announcer or safety or another act of kindness that has provided a service to our school.

There is no doubt that all students in this class have the tools needed to be successful with the mentioned criteria, so please join us in encouraging their very best until June—they can do this!

We will communicate their progress via weekly news; however, please expect additional communication if needed. As always, don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

The Sixth Grade Team
