This Week at Placerita 3.1.2020
Good Evening Placerita Families…
We would like to welcome our sixth grade families to our weekly update tonight. We have some news for them as well as everyone else.
First, our sixth grade orientation for our students will happen on Tuesday (3/3) with students being transported from each school site on Tuesday morning around 9:00 AM. The orientation will be at the Hart High Auditorium and will last for approximately two hours. The parent orientation will be on the evening of March 10th in the Hart Auditorium at 7:00 PM. We usually do this on the same day as the students but since it is Super Tuesday we pushed it out a week to March 10th. We look forward to seeing you all there.
We have moved our Open House night to May 7th for several reasons. We will have a lot of special events including activities for our 6th grade parents as well as everyone else. We will give more details as we get closer to May.
Yearbook Tribute Ads are due this week. See the information on our website here.

We have our seventh grade Medieval Times field trip on Thursday of this week. All your paperwork should have already been completed. We know they will have a great time.
We have our Student-of-the-Month Brunch on Friday during Brunch :-)
We also have our 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament starting on Monday and running throughout the month in Honor of March Madness. The winning team will play staff at the end and staff will be looking to win since they have lost both Dodgeball and Kickball this year.
The District Honor Band Concert will be Saturday at 7:00 PM in the Hart Auditorium. They have worked very hard for this so lets come out and support them.
Don’t forget Daylight Savings time begins this next weekend. We spring forward this next Saturday night.
That’s it for tonight, have a great week!
Mr. Turner

Buenas tardes Placerita Familias ...
Nos gustaría dar la bienvenida a nuestras familias de sexto grado a nuestra actualización semanal de esta noche. Tenemos algunas noticias para ellos y para todos los demás.
Primero, nuestra orientación de sexto grado para nuestros estudiantes ocurrirá el martes (3/3) y los estudiantes serán transportados desde cada escuela el martes por la mañana alrededor de las 9:00 a.m. La orientación será en el Auditorio Hart High y durará aproximadamente dos horas. La orientación para padres será en la tarde del 10 de marzo en el Auditorio Hart a las 7:00 PM. Por lo general, hacemos esto el mismo día que los estudiantes, pero como es el Súper Martes, lo postergamos una semana hasta el 10 de marzo. Esperamos verlos a todos ahí.
Hemos trasladado nuestra noche de puertas abiertas al 7 de mayo por varias razones. Tendremos muchos eventos especiales, incluyendo actividades para nuestros padres de sexto grado y para todos los demás. Le daremos más detalles a medida que nos acerquemos a mayo.
Los anuncios de homenaje del anuario duran esta semana. Vea la información en nuestro sitio web aquí.

Tenemos nuestra excursión de séptimo grado a Medieval Times el jueves de esta semana. Toda su documentación ya debería haberse completado. Sabemos que lo pasarán muy bien.
Tenemos nuestro brunch de estudiante del mes el viernes durante el brunch :-)
También tenemos nuestro Torneo de baloncesto 3 contra 3 que comienza el lunes y se ejecuta durante todo el mes en Honor of March Madness. El equipo ganador jugará con el personal al final y el personal buscará ganar ya que han perdido tanto Dodgeball como Kickball este año.
El Concierto de la Banda de Honor del Distrito será el sábado a las 7:00 PM en el Auditorio Hart. Han trabajado muy duro para esto, así que vamos a apoyarlos.
No olvide que el horario de verano comienza el próximo fin de semana. Saltamos hacia adelante este próximo sábado por la noche.
¡Eso es todo por esta noche, que tengan una gran semana!

National Junior Honor Society NEWS!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS for those students that qualified for NJHS by earning and maintaining a 3.5 cumulative grade point average!
The National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding middle school students. NJHS honors those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Character, Service and Citizenship.
Students should have attended the mandatory informational meeting on Tuesday, January 28th, after school where they received all of their necessary paperwork. Please visit our Placerita website if additional paperwork is needed or for FAQ’s. In order to satisfy the Service portion of NJHS, students are required to complete 10 community service hours with a non-profit organization. If you have any questions about acceptable hours please email the appropriate advisor (8th grade-Mrs. Tait, 7th grade – Ms. Blevins), or check the suggestions on the website. Students will be required to turn in these hours to their advisor by a very strict deadline, as responsibility is a crucial part of Character and Leadership. Please be aware of some important upcoming dates;
