The Carleton Chronicle
A weekly update from Carleton Middle School.
Greetings from Carleton!
It was great to see so many parents at our recent Title I and Open House events. Thank you for setting aside time in your busy lives to take interest in your child's middle school education.
Mark your calendars! We have our first Booster Club meeting of the year on Wednesday, September 19th at 6pm in the Media Center. Please consider attending, as all parents and guardians of Carleton Middle School students are Booster Club members. We hope to plan our major Fall fundraiser, the Carleton Shuffle.
It's great to see so many student athletes that have come out to try volleyball or football during the start of a new school year. We could still use a few more athletes to fill our football team, so if your son or daughter is interested, have them see Coach Borja in room 215.
We've received some questions about Parent Portal and access to grades, attendance, lunch balances, etc. Parent Portal is not active yet through the district technology department. The date to go "live" will be in the coming weeks. We'll keep you informed about any changes and when access becomes available.
Lastly, we have a half day dismissal on Friday, September 21st for our first PLC (Professional Learning Community) during the afternoon for our staff. Please note that students will be dismissed at 11am. Please be proactive and communicate a plan with your son/daughter to determine after school plans and pick-ups. Thank you!
Sports Update
Football practice began on Thursday, September 8th and will continue to run from 3-4:45pm everyday. It is not too late to join, however, any student wishing to play must have a physical on file with the office. Our first scrimmage is coming up next week.
Both 7th and 8th grade Volleyball teams have been established and we appreciate everyone that attended try-outs. All students left with new knowledge, exposure to the game, and an appreciation for hard work. Great job ladies!
We would like to wish our student athletes a terrific season and would like to thank all of those that came out to try-out, participate, and represent Carleton in a positive way. Please continue to show great sportsmanship on and off of the field.
Breakfast Opens at 7:15am Daily
REACH for your best!
One of the concepts we've introduced to your children during the first few days of school is how to REACH for success or REACH for their best during the school day. This phrase comes out of a PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) initiative at Carleton to better support all students with the expected school behaviors. As a quick introduction, we use the words below to teach, reinforce, and notice positive behaviors in our classrooms, hallways, lunchroom, and other areas of our school community. We also are able to redirect and reteach students that may need additional support or understanding of the expectations. We hope that all students will have a better understanding of what it means to REACH for success by the end of the school year.
R - Resourceful
E - Engaged
