8th Grade Boston Update

8th Grade Families only –

On Wednesday, your students will receive an account update and a medical form (attached) to fill out. Students will also fill out a survey this week asking what activity they want to do. Below is a list of activities which I strongly recommend reviewing this with your student and reminding them to choose activities based on their interests not on what their friends are doing.
