Week of September 8, 2008

Back to School Night
I am looking forward to seeing all of the parents at this week's Back to School Night on Tuesday, September 9, 2008 starting at 5:45pm. We will begin with a general parent meeting in the Multi-purpose room(MPR)/gym followed by visits to the classrooms. Information will also be presented about our schools STAR test scores.

Classroom visits are a great time to meet your daughter's or son's teacher and hear a little about what they will be learning this year. Assignments, class expectations, and grading will be covered. Hopefully there will be enough time to answer general questions. As a parent, if you have specific questions, please ask the teacher for a meeting time to go over any concerns and/or questions.

We will be selling school HAWK SPIRIT t-shirts, special early bird pricing for yearbooks, and snow-cones. There will also be a Book Fair found in the library.

Please plan on joining us for Back to School Night!

Sports
We had several students tryout for volleyball, football, and cross-country. I want to thank all the students who tried out and congratulate those selected to represent Sequoia during the Fall sports season. Games begin this week. Please check the Fall Sports Schedule found on our website. Come out and support our teams.



Band
Our band is sounding great and getting better everyday. The students are excited and are working hard as they are learning the songs and getting ready for their first fieldshow. This year the Sequoia Middle School Marching Band will be performing at two half-time shows at MHS JV football games. The first game is the MHS vs. Granite Hills game and the second is on MHS homecoming night. I feel we have earned the right to perform and feel confident our students will do well. Why? Because HAWKS ROCK!
