8th Grade Celebration 🥳️
6th GRADE FAMILIES: How's Your Student's Work Ethic?
Missing In Action: A Strong Work Ethic
- On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your 6th grade student's school WORK ETHIC?
- Does your student see completing their classroom assignments and turning them in on time?
- How would they rate themselves?
If your student needs more time on task and more instruction, please send them to the afterschool Elect-to-Learn in the library. The 6th grade Academic Success Coordinator and tutors are there to give support. We can also help with the work ethic. Remember our goal is to earn A, B, C grades with no D or F.
Every two weeks, on the 1st and the 15th of the month, we take grades off QMLATIV and reward students earning A, B, C’s during lunch. A good work ethic gets them there!
Please email Mr. Kure for any questions.

Felling SICK During School Hours?
We have seen an increasing number of students feeling unwell during class.
Here is what to do if your student needs medical attention during school hours:
- Student should NOT use personal cell phone to contact family members. Cell phone use is prohibited during school hours.
- Student should immediately inform the teacher about their conditions and ask for a hall pass to visit the school nurse.
- Once our school nurse examines the student, she will decide what medical help is necessary, or if the student should be sent home.
- The school will contact a guardian if the student needs to be picked up. Your student will be waiting for pick up in the nurse's office under the school nurse's observation.
Please talk to your students about these steps.
