Intermediate Work List

The intermediate worklist is a tool used to help the students know what and when daily assigmnents are due. It is a tracking system they use every day. The teachers will initial the assignments once they are done and corrected, if necessary. If a teacher's initial is not on the assignment, the student either needs to do the assignment or correct the assignment. The students are expected to write their assignments on the worklist every day. At the end of the week, parents are expected to sign the back of the worklist and then return it Monday so the students can receive their pay checks. If the worklist is NOT signed, they do NOT receive their work money.

PARENTS, PLEASE SIGN THE WORKLIST EVERY WEEKEND!

We, the staff, are really trying to help the students become responsible working students. You, at home, may need to remind your child to show you his/her worklist to be signed. We hope this will help you understand the importance of your signature on their worklists.

Grand Cannyon Reader Awards

This year we are participating in the Grand Canyon Reader Awards Program. The Grand Canyon Reader Award Program is a reader award program for students in Arizona. Students vote on their favorite book in the following categories: Picture Book, Non-Fiction, Intermediate and Teen. In order to vote, students must read at least 3 of the 10 books in the Intermediate or Tween categories and at least 5 of the 10 books in the Non-Fiction or Picture categories. All students who are able to vote will be invited to a "Voting Party" which will include pizza or root beer floats.
