Happy New Year, Panther Families!

We’ve had a positive start to second semester, despite the challenges we’re experiencing. Thank you so much for your patience as we navigate the changing COVID protocols and transportation issues in the district. We appreciate you keeping your child home if they are sick and communicating with us so we can keep our students safe. If your child is absent from school, please make sure they are checking Google Classroom each day to stay on top of assignments.

We have a lot going on this quarter! Our 8th graders went on field trips to the high schools to learn about the CTE programs available to them, and they will soon be completing high school registration. The counselors are going into the 7th grade classrooms this month to explain the registration process for 8th grade. Teachers will be reaching out to schedule conferences for February 3, which is an early release day.

On March 4, we invite you all to join us for our very first Spring Fling Carnival! More information will be sent out as we get closer to the event, but we hope to see you all there for a fun family night at Payne.

Thank you so much for your support and I look forward to a fun-filled third quarter!

In elementary school, when students are absent, they often return to school to find a folder on their desk with the work they missed while they were gone. In Junior High, however, it is the student’s responsibility to find what they missed and make arrangements with teachers to make up tests or quizzes. Google classroom has made it so much easier to avoid getting behind during absences. While students are off campus, it is important to check Google classroom every day to see what was being taught in class that day, get notes, and assignments. Once students return to school, it is imperative that they communicate with each teacher to find out if they missed a test and schedule a time to take it before or after school or during their AP time.

If you find yourself behind on assignments, please reach out to your counselor. We can help organize work and create a schedule for completing it. We want you to be successful!
