- Thursdays: We check in on students who receive academic interventions and collaborate on strategies.
- Fridays: We check in about which students are engaged and attending class and which need more encouragement. We also check in with various community based organizations who are working with smaller groups of middle school students.
What is happening: Lots
- Student led auction last night was a HUGE success! The students raised over $3000 for the Black Resiliency Fund with almost 90 people in attendance

Kellogg Middle School:

Student Emails and Google Calendar
- Mr. Roletto will be sending information about activities throughout the year
- Teachers will confirm appointments with students
It's a skill they will need to have when they get to high school and expected to use.
Also it will be important for students to use their email because we WANT to text students, but we aren't able to use REMIND messaging directly with students as some parents have asked because their is an age requirement that most of our students don't meet.
