6 weeks left!

Last week's UCSD tour

This week's events:
Please note- Friday field trip to the Kroc Center is postponed until further notice
Thursday May 7: IA Art Experience 5pm (see IA website or listen to all school call for details)
Friday May 8: Design your High School final model and brochure due
Monday May 11: Mission Valley/ Mission Gorge Field Trip $1.50 transit cost.  We will take the bus from Mira Mesa Blvd to Mission Valley old IA site, then trolley to Mission Gorge Site. I would love a couple chaperones or parents who can shuttle kids from school to bus stop in the morning and again when we return.

 We are in the last leg of the year!  This week we will finish state testing!  Each morning, students will have 1 hour of testing.  Our schedule has been quite confusing because of this, so it will be nice to get back into a routine.
Students are excited for our Northern California trip next week! Please check out the next blog post for details.  You can find links and important info there. For those students not going on the trip, Cynthia will be with students not going on the trip every day we are gone to help them complete work.  A trip packet will be available next Wednesday, May 13
