Have a Wonderful Summer!
I'll see some of you back in August for 7th and 8th Grade!  To my 8th graders - stay in touch and all the best as you start your high school adventure.  Realm - read books, enjoy summer, eat great foods, binge some tv, travel, and do all the things that help you recharge so you are ready for a new chapter in August!  I look forward to seeing  some of you when school starts again.

​Cell Phones
Cell phones are not allowed in the Realm during instructional time... not even in your pocket. Though technology is a useful tool, cell phones in class create more distraction than help. I have a device depot where all phones will be kept during class time.   LBJ also has also determined that phones are only allowed to be used during lunch time.
