White Mountain Middle School Newsletter Home of the Wolves May 23, 2014 Number 9 www.eaglepnt.k12.or.us 541-830-6766 Dear Parents, It is hard to believe that we have less than 20 days of school left as I write this letter. Wow time has flown by. Our OAKS testing is completed and it gives me great thrill to be in the hallway with happy faces of students who met their achievement or growth goal. There is nothing better than a high five for a student who has worked so hard and has seen that hard work pay off. We will be celebrating our students accomplishments with an awards night for 6th and 7th grade students on June 3rd and 8th grade students on June 5th. Invitations to the event will be sent home. I hope that you will plan on attending and celebrating with us, your student’s accomplishments. We will be having summer school for our students from July 7th to July 25th. Summer school is a key piece of our system to help our student from not losing ground during the summer months. We will be contacting parents soon to encourage their students participation in the program. Finally, from the staff at White Mountain, we wish you a very safe and relaxing summer and look forward to seeing your student again in the fall.
