Our Focus This Year Is:
Literacy, Building Relationships, HOPE (Helping One Person Everyday), Fun, and Pure Imagination.
“The fire of literacy is created by the sparks between a child, a book, and the person reading it.”

New this week...
From The Nurse
- IF YOUR STUDENT HAS MEDICATION IN THE NURSE’S OFFICE (EPI-PENS, INHALERS, TYLENOL, ANYTHING) –PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU PICK IT UP BEFORE 12:30PM ON THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL THURSDAY 5/26/22!
- IF AN ADULT CANNOT PICK IT UP, YOU MUST CALL OR EMAIL THE NURSE TO MAKE OTHER ARRANGEMENTS!
- IF MEDICATIONS ARE NOT PICKED UP, THEY WILL BE DISCARDED ON 5/27!
Cafeteria Expectations
We have noticed that some of our kiddos have been more rowdy in the café lately.
- Because of this, I met with each grade level today to reiterate how students should act in the café.
We wanted to share these expectations with families as well.
- Here is the link to what was shared.
Parents, can you please speak with your kiddo(s) and remind them to follow these expectations and to always do the right thing?
In addition, we are considering ways to limit the rowdiness as well, such as assigned seats, silent lunches, etc...
Please and thank you,
Dr. D

Tardy Sweeps
A tardy sweep means that if a kiddo is still in the hall when the tardy bell rings each period (without permission) they will be given an after school detention.
You can find the tardy sweep information and much more info in the McMath Student Handbook found in the 'Campus Information' tab on the McMath Webpage. Click here for the link.
Lastly...I have included the regular Tardy Procedure in the attached picture as well for reference.

Please be sure to reach out to your kiddo's teachers if you have any questions.
NO DELIVERIES
Sooooo, what does Zone (6, 7, or 8) mean on a student’s schedule?
The Zone class will be the kiddo’s 'Family Time' period.
- The 6, 7, or 8 simply means the grade your kiddo is in.
