I hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far and enjoying the beautiful weather! The Case21 Benchmark tests begin tomorrow.  These are the county-wide quarterly tests for all Wake County students (much like the Blue Diamond tests from a few years ago.)  The students will take the reading assessment tomorrow, the math assessment Thursday, and the Science benchmark on Tuesday, 10/30.  The testing will occur in the morning, beginning at about 8:50.  I reminded the kids to get a good night's sleep and eat a healthy breakfast!

 

If you would like to be a volunteer this year at Joyner or assist on any field trip, we need for you to please register through the electronic volunteer system in our media center. All approved volunteers from the 2011-2012 school year must re-activate no later than October 31st in order to continue as approved volunteers during the 2012-2013 school year. 

 

The Parent meeting for Human Growth and Development will be on Friday, 10/26 at 5 pm, before the Joyner Jamboree. This meeting is for parents, but students can wait in another room and them attend the jamboree. The meeting will be help in Mrs. Lewis's room across the hall from our classroom.
