From the Counselors
September 12-18 is Student Sleep Health Week. The benefits of healthy sleep include better academic and sports performance as well as contributing to overall wellbeing. Below is an article on how to support your teen’s sleep health.
Student Readiness
We want our student to come to class ready to learn. There are a few steps that can be taken for them to be prepared for class:
- Make sure their MacBook is charged when they arrive every day
- Bring wired earphones
- Bring required materials to each class
- Use your planner to write down what you did in each class and what you still need to do
Immunizations: Attention 7th Grade Parents:
All immunization records received have been entered into Skyward. If your student is missing required immunizations, Tdap and/or Meningococcal, you will continue to get notifications such as e-mails and calls until the nurse receives documentation of required immunization.
Monday, October 10, 2022 is the due date to become compliant with required immunizations. Your student may be excluded from school if documentation of missing immunization is not received by the due date. Please contact the school nurse with questions regarding immunizations.
From Student Council
Student council is raising funds later this month to benefit the American Red Cross and its disaster relief programs. During lunch on Tuesday, September 27, students may purchase duct tape for $1 a foot and stick it to Mr. LeBar, our vice principal. The goal is to tape him head to toe to a pole in the cafeteria and leave him stuck. You can participate by bringing in your dollars. Let's have some fun while raising money for a great cause!
