Dear parents of 8th-grade students,

Our 8th-grade day activity will take place on Wednesday, June 2, 2021, at the Blue Ash Rec Center.

F2F students will travel by bus and enjoy activities with staff and their classmates. We will leave the building around 9:45 AM and return around 2:00 PM.

Virtual students who wish to attend MUST respond ASAP by completing THIS FORM. If you do not respond, we will assume your child does not wish to participate.

If you need to access your 8th-grade student during this time, please coordinate with Ms. Lally prior to that day via email at lallyl@sycamoreschools.org or via phone 686-1760.

Students should bring:

• Face covering

• Towel and swimwear if they wish to swim

• Sunscreen

Students are permitted to bring:

• Hat

• Sporting equipment

• Cards

• Small bag or backpack to carry their belongings

• A sack lunch/snacks

Lunch, snacks, and plenty of water will be available to students thanks to our generous PTO.

It is our recommendation that students do not bring valuables to school on this day. We will not be able to respond to stolen or lost valuables, including cell phones. Additionally, students are not permitted to use their cell phones at this event.

In order to have the privilege of attending this event, students must be in good academic and behavioral standing.

• Maintain passing grades in your classes. Students with multiple failures for the 4th quarter will not be permitted to attend.

• Follow direction from adults. Students that are chronically noncompliant will not be permitted to attend.

• Demonstrate respect for others. A student that is rude or disrespectful towards others or property will not be permitted to attend.

• Be a leader. Model excellence. Students that continue to violate the code of conduct or demonstrate behaviors that are not outstanding examples of what an SJH student exemplifies will not be permitted to attend..

Please remind your student of these expectations.

Students with current class failures will not be permitted to attend. These students will be addressed individually by Mr. Lavercombe on Tuesday, May 25th. They will be able to remain at school to complete coursework in an attempt to raise those failing grades.

This will be a fantastic day of celebration for our students. If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact Mr. Lavercombe at lavercombec@sycamoreschools.org or 686-1760.

Parents of 8th graders:

There is time to review next year's course selections. The classes that students selected and reviewed with their counselor can now be found in Blackboard in the eBackpack. Please review this list and reach out to the high school counselor by May 15 if any changes need to be made.
