Google Classroom is Being Used in 5th-8th!
The students in the upper grades will be utilizing Google Classroom very soon! They have been introduced to it in Technology and have been added to their Math, English, Science, and Social Studies classrooms.
This will be a way for them to have access to assignments, tools like Docs(Word), Sheets(Excel, and Slides(Powerpoint), classroom discussion board, etc. The goal is to help our students utilize technology to help them be successful.
Parents will receive log in information for their child's school Google account so that they can monitor progress as well.
Just another way we strive to prepare our students for their future! #WeWillBeReady :)

Academic Eligibility for Sports-Grades 4-8
In an effort to relay the importance of academics and to help our student athletes be successful, we will be checking for academic eligibility each week. The process is as follows:
Monday: Letters will go home to any athlete who has a grade below a C in one of his/her core classes. They will also be given a "Ticket to Play" form that they must take around to their teachers to get initialed by Thursday of the same week.
By no later than 2:30 on Thursday, this form should be returned to Ms. Kelly with the updated grades that are signed off by the teacher. If the grades are below a C, the student will remain ineligible to play until the next week.
