The 7th Grade Skinny
May 2nd
That time when your 7th grader couldn't get out of bed and so now they are late to prayer...
Morning Prayer is the most important part of our day. Please help teach your 7th grader responsibility and punctuality by helping them arrive on time!
Remind them to proceed immediately to the prayer area as soon as they hear the bell.
But what should they do if they are dropped off after 8am?
Great Question!
All students: If students arrive after the 8:00am bell, they must proceed DIRECTLY to Morning Prayer without stopping first at advisories/homerooms.
What the 7th graders are focused on right now....
- Your 7th grader should arrive by 6:45am on Euclid Ave. on Wednesday May 4th.
- Separate from the duffle bag and sleeping bag should be a day pack. This day pack should hold a lunch, water bottle, and any other things the 7th grader will want on the bus and boat. Please make sure to wear a sweatshirt and closed-toed shoes.
- On each piece of luggage must be a piece of black tape or ribbon. This is to designate that they are with our group. Please have names clearly marked on each piece of luggage, as well.
- Students may want money for the boat to buy snacks. They also may want money for SIMI swag: $30 for sweatshirts, $15 for t-shirts, and $12 for water bottles, hats and beanies. (the purchase of these items will not happen until Thursday night, so please don't depend on this for water bottle or sweatshirt needs for the trip)
- 7th grade will arrive roughly at 4pm on Friday May 6th on Euclid Ave. The school will send a text when they have a more exact time that afternoon.
- Don't let your 7th grader say he or she doesn't need a warm jacket or pants. It will get cold at night! Layers are very important!
Culminating What????? Explain!
The teachers have worked really hard to design a project that not only speaks to the strengths of this 7th grade class, but will also be a valuable learning experience for the students.
Structured time will be given during advisory and other specifically scheduled times. This is not an assignment that needs to be done at home. Project proposals were due last Friday and we begin today by sending formal emails asking for interviews and creating surveys for action research.
Ask your 7th grader which project they chose!
