It was great to get to meet so many of you at Curriculum Night! If you were unable to attend, our presentation is attached. You will also find the links for iPad insurance in the presentation. As always, contact us with any questions or concerns. 
The Oak Student Council has put together items to be raffled off each day in March. The cost is $5 per chance, with all proceeds going to support the field trips, enrichment activities, etc for the kids. If you would like to participate, you can send in the information with your child Wednesday or Thursday this week. Please see the attached calendar - you can print it out and fill in the name and amount of chances to be entered. Please send either cash or a check made out to Shrewsbury Middle School PTO. Student volunteers will choose the winner each day, and the more chances the students purchase the more chances they have to win. Students can win multiple prizes if they purchased more than one chance. The students will purchase their chances during lunch. The kids are very excited about this fundraiser since they chose all of the items. Thank you for your support!
Information about ordering yearbooks is attached. The sale will go from January 21 - February 1. The cost is $28 until January 28 and it goes up to $35 after that date. If the cost is an issue for your family, please contact your child's homeroom teacher or Scott Yonker. We want to be sure that every student who wants a yearbook is able to get one.
