This Week at Placerita 2.17.2020
Good Evening Placertia Families…
Welcome to week six of the third quarter at Placertia!
Please check Infinite campus and take a look at your students grades and remind them to complete any assignments that they have outstanding. We still have until March 20 till the end of the quarter but its always important to not get behind.
We have sign-up for Miner Munchies this Friday at brunch in the Library. See the Sign-up Genius below to participate. Thank you so much for your assistance.
If you are not getting the emails that accompany the phone message please email our Office Manager Janice Dennington at jdennington@hartdistrict.org and we will work on fixing that for you.
We have sign-ups for our 3-on-3 Tournament this Wednesday and Thursday at Brunch. Remind your students so they will not forget. We have both boys and girls teams so encourage your student if they like basketball to create a team and participate all through the month of March.
A HUGE Thank You to our Drama Dads that came out last Saturday to build our props for our Alice in Wonderland Jr. Production coming at the end of March.
Another Thank you to all those who signed up for helping with the Garden. We will be contacting you soon and setting up some dates to begin work. However, In case you missed it last week, we have a project that is going to need some helping hands over the next few weeks. We have purchased a lot of supplies to develop a nice raised bed garden here at Placerita. Along with that we have purchased a small greenhouse. All of these need assembling so we are looking for assistance in putting it all together. If you are interested in helping please complete the form at this address; http://tinyurl.com/placeritagarden It will be fun seeing it come together. We will have a committee of staff, students and parents that will work on this project.
Lets have a great week!
Buenas tardes Placertia Familias ...
¡Bienvenidos a la sexta semana del tercer trimestre en Placertia!
Por favor revise el campus Infinite y eche un vistazo a las calificaciones de sus estudiantes y recuérdeles que completen cualquier tarea que tengan pendiente. Todavía tenemos hasta el 20 de marzo hasta el final del trimestre, pero siempre es importante no quedarse atrás.
Tenemos registro para Miner Munchies este viernes al brunch en la Biblioteca. Vea el Genio de registro a continuación para participar. Muchas gracias por tu asistencia.
Si no recibe los correos electrónicos que acompañan el mensaje telefónico, envíe un correo electrónico a nuestra Gerente de Oficina Janice Dennington a jdennington@hartdistrict.org y trabajaremos para solucionarlo.
Tenemos inscripciones para nuestro Torneo 3 contra 3 este miércoles y jueves en Brunch. Recuerde a sus alumnos para que no lo olviden. Tenemos equipos de niños y niñas, así que anime a su estudiante si les gusta el baloncesto para crear un equipo y participar durante todo el mes de marzo.
Un GRAN agradecimiento a nuestros Drama Dads que salieron el sábado pasado para construir nuestros accesorios para nuestra producción de Alice in Wonderland Jr. que llegará a fines de marzo.
Otro agradecimiento a todos los que se inscribieron para ayudar con el jardín. Nos pondremos en contacto con usted pronto y estableceremos algunas fechas para comenzar a trabajar. Sin embargo, en caso de que se lo haya perdido la semana pasada, tenemos un proyecto que necesitará ayuda durante las próximas semanas. Hemos comprado muchos suministros para desarrollar un bonito jardín de cama elevada aquí en Placerita. Junto con eso, hemos comprado un pequeño invernadero. Todo esto necesita ser ensamblado, por lo que estamos buscando ayuda para ponerlo todo junto. Si está interesado en ayudar, complete el formulario en esta dirección; http://tinyurl.com/placeritagarden Será divertido ver cómo se unen. Tendremos un comité de personal, estudiantes y padres que trabajarán en este proyecto.
¡Que tengamos una gran semana!

National Junior Honor Society NEWS!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS for those students that qualified for NJHS by earning and maintaining a 3.5 cumulative grade point average!
The National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding middle school students. NJHS honors those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Character, Service and Citizenship.
Students should have attended the mandatory informational meeting on Tuesday, January 28th, after school where they received all of their necessary paperwork. Please visit our Placerita website if additional paperwork is needed or for FAQ’s. In order to satisfy the Service portion of NJHS, students are required to complete 10 community service hours with a non-profit organization. If you have any questions about acceptable hours please email the appropriate advisor (8th grade-Mrs. Tait, 7th grade – Ms. Blevins), or check the suggestions on the website. Students will be required to turn in these hours to their advisor by a very strict deadline, as responsibility is a crucial part of Character and Leadership. Please be aware of some important upcoming dates;
