Last
call to join a discussion group. After
Monday, June 22nd, the list of books for testing will be the only
option for completing your summer reading. Simply select the
book you are interested in, read the book and take the test when
directed in September.
Book Discussion members: If you do not hear from the
leader of your Book Discussion by Monday, June 29, please e-mail:
mharkinsabw@yahoo.com.
Some people have not received information due to groups still
forming. Check the e-mail address you submitted for the
invitation to the Book Discussion.
Important: Archbishop Wood Summer Reading Program 2009
May 2009
You have two options
to complete the summer reading:
1. Listed below are
a number of books under the heading Summer Reading Test. Select
one of these books. Read the book, when you return in
September you will take a test on this book. If you cannot
pass the test, you will have the opportunity to read another book
and take a test on that book. This will continue until you
pass the test.
2. Select a book from
the Summer Book Club list. Complete the attached form.
The expectation for this book will be that you participate in an
online discussion over the summer months. The discussion
leader will set the dates and expectations for completion. All
you need is access to a computer. You do not have to be home.
To successfully complete this aspect of the summer
reading program you must take an active part in the
discussion, posting your thoughts and opinions by the required
dates. The discussion leader is looking for your reaction to
the book, not specific answers, plot descriptions, or character
analysis etc.
Current
Freshmen, Sophomores
and Juniors should have returned their selection to the
Principal's Office by June 1. If you wish to make any changes
or you have not made your selection, e-mail this information to mharkinsabw@yahoo.com.
Incoming
Freshmen will receive a letter
in the mail during the week of June 8. If you select
Summer Book Club, e-mail your book selection and e-mail address to mharkinsabw@yahoo.com
by June 22.
Sincerely,
Mary Harkins

EARLY
DISMISSAL PROCEDURES IN CASE OF INCLEMENT WEATHER
All students must have their Student
ID available for inspection.
Only those students whose school district was called will be permitted to leave, including drivers/passengers and walkers.
We strongly urge all drivers to
ride the bus instead of driving to school on those days of possible
snow and ice.
When a school district is called,
those students taking the bus will report to the auditorium and will
be dismissed from there.
Drivers/passengers and walkers will report to the Student
Services Office.
Drivers/passengers and walkers reporting to
the Student Services Office will sign a sheet of paper with their
school district on it and it will be used as their permission slip
to leave. The date and time will be stamped along with Mr.
Mangin’s signature and it will be given to a teacher or staff
member stationed at the doors.
Students will not be permitted to ride with
another student unless we have written permission from both sets of
parents (driver and passenger).
Your parents should not call the school to ask for a
dismissal due to the bad weather, our phone lines need to stay open
for emergencies.
Faculty & Staff will be posted at each
door to check students’ permission slips as they are leaving.
Your parents should check the web site
frequently.
Please refer to page 34 and 35 in the
student handbook for further information
