'Tis August

We just got back from my favorite summer vacation: 42 years worth of weeks with my family on a remote Eastern Washington lake with no phone or internet service.  I LOVE it.  Ella even tried waterskiing and made it several hundred yards into the lake.

Mr. Jeff and Erik say "hello!"

It has been a busy and wonderful summer so far, but it's also time for me to begin more detailed preparations for when school begins in the fall!  Of possible note for you:
*Fall schedules are almost complete.  Those of you with late request forms (there are still a few of you out there) will receive what's left of the offerings.  Some classes are definitely full!  I will have fall schedules posted in TeacherEase beginning the week of August 26.
*Pre-Algebra: those of you taking the pre-algebra final exam should plan on spending your Monday morning on August 19th at NOVA with Mr. Jeff beginning at 9:30 a.m.  It typically takes around 2 hours to complete this series of tests, so plan for that too.  If this date does not work for you, please email Mr. Jeff at jolfson@novaschool.org.  We would also appreciate it if you verify that you ARE attending so that we know to expect you.  I hope you are using the pre-algebra tab of this blog to get fully prepared!
*New students: please note the new tab on this blog with information that might help you to feel better prepared for math this fall.  We look forward to having you!

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me as always: lmanning@novaschool.org. 
My best to all of you,
Mo ;-)
