Important Information

Parent Teacher Conferences

I know everyone is very excited about Parent Teacher Conferences this week!  Like the last round, Jaimie will provide each of you a list of parents that have signed up.  Thanks Jaimie.

Jail The Teacher Fundraiser

Friday, October 31st, the 8th grade team will be hosting a Jail The Teacher fundraiser to help raise money for 8th grade field trips! Each period, students will have the opportunity to bring in CASH only, no coins, to "jail" their teacher for a specific amount of time. After collecting students' money, you will bring the money along with your class to the big gym. Mrs. Smith will be at the door collecting and counting money ($1 = 1 minute). Students will then be able to participate in different Halloween and/or Christmas activities such as a movie, coloring pages, word searches, and creating decorations to decorate the halls again. Popcorn will also be sold at specific times for $1. Teachers will have to sit in the "jail" during their time with no phones, Chromebooks, etc. (We know this will all be terrible for us) When your time is up, you will take your class back to their normal period. We suggest incentivizing the kids to bring money by telling them they will have to take a quiz or something less desirable during the period if they do not bring enough money to jail their teacher the entire time.
