This just in: Harvest Festival might not be a million degrees like it usually is!
Here's hoping! In another Harvest Festival news: The MJS annual Harvest Festival is scheduled for October 30th form 12-3pm. 7th graders will be volunteering for two 45 minute shifts. The execution of a great Harvest Festival is dependent on the 7th graders help! If you know your 7th grader is not going to be here, please have him or her bring a note to Nicole Sanders by Tuesday, October 20th.
7th graders are also asked to stay after the Harvest Festival to help 8th graders clean up. Plan on students being allowed to leave between 4 and 4:30, pending when we are done. This is also required of every 7th grader. In order for a student to be excused early from the Harvest Festival please send a note with your 7th grader by October 20th.
7th grade is in charge of bringing cans of light-colored sodas (Sprite, 7-up, Sierra Mist...) which will be sold during the Harvest Festival. Please send these with your 7th grader as soon as you can!
Thank you for helping teach our 7th graders responsibility!
That moment when you signed up for conferences and you don't know what to expect! READ THIS:
- Check all subject area grades on Schoology before your meeting. This will help you to see which teachers you really need to conference with and what you want to discuss.
- If you feel like you do not need to meet with a specific teacher at this time, please cancel your appointment online so that meeting time will become available to others.
- Be on time! We only have 10 minutes and teachers are all expected to have a timer set to keep the conferences on track. If you need more time, don't hesitate to contact that teacher to schedule a longer conference.
- Bring your 7th grader! Students are expected to play a major role in the conferences.
- We are a team! We look forward to a great partnership with you this year.
