Spring 2013 Final Exam Schedule
May, 21-23
It would be very much appreciated if you limit your check-outs to emergencies only. You are also encouraged to have your child at school on time. Please keep in mind, if your child is late, they will not have as much time to complete the test and it also interrupts the testing of all other students in the classroom. The students will have locker clean-out on May 20. Book bags will not be
allowed during testing.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
There will be Sack lunches all 3 days of final exams (21, 22, & 23).

 Dunwoody Nature Center
The Dunwoody Nature Center runs a series of camps throughout the summer for younger children. We count on teenagers, age 14+ (13 year olds may inquire), to serve as volunteer (no pay) Junior Counselors for these camps - assisting the educators and enhancing the camp experience. In turn we hope this gives the JCs great material for resumes and college applications, as well as teaching them responsibility, etc. We ask that JCs attend one 1-hour mandatory training class and commit to a full week (or weeks) of camp at a time. Shifts can be full day, 9-12:30 or 12-3:30. Interested students should email: volunteer@dunwoodynature.org
