Important Information

1st Quarter Academic Awards

We will be having our 1st Quarter Academic Awards assemblies on Friday, December 6th.  This will be done by grade level.  Each grade level will be called down to the cafeteria.  Any student that earned a 3.0 or above will receive a certificate.  Once all names have been read, students that did not earn above a 3.0 will go back to class.  Students that earned above a 3.0 will stay for donuts.  Same process we did for 2023-24 Academic Awards.

1st period-  7th Grade

2nd period-  8th Grade

3rd period-  6th Grade


Hallways

The hallways look great.  I am hearing many complements from parents and visitors.  Please make sure you are monitoring the hallways to ensure students are not knocking down the decorations.  If this becomes a problems for our students, then we will need to take everything down immediately.  


Parent Communication

If students are receiving a D or an F in your class, please make sure you contact their parents.  This is a requirement.  

It is also encouraged to send positive emails home to parents for students that need a bit of encouragement.  Getting parents to see that you are working hard to teach and motivate their kids helps tremendously.


Thanksgiving Break

I hope everyone enjoys their well deserved Thanksgiving break with family and friends.  Only 3 weeks left in the quarter once we return.  Finish strong!
