8th Grade Day
Dear parents of 8th grade students,
Our 8th-grade day activity will take place on Wednesday, May 23, 2018, at the Blue Ash Recreation Center. 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. If you need to access your 8th-grade student during this time, please coordinate with Mrs. Knue prior to that day via email at knuet@sycamoreschools.org or via phone 686-1760.
When the students arrive back to school, the 8th-grade panoramic picture will be taken. Ordering information will be sent out at the beginning of May.
Students should bring:
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.
Students will not be permitted to return to their lockers when we arrive back at school. Therefore, 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 phones at this event.
In order to have the privilege of attending this event, students must be in good academic and behavioral standing. At the 8th-grade class meeting, these expectations were reviewed.
Maintain passing grades in your classes. Students with multiple failures for 4th quarter will not be permitted to attend.
Attend school. Students with excessive absences/tardies to school 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 who 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.
Students should be in good standing with the media center, having returned all books and paid overdue fines.
Please remind your student of these expectations. Additional expectations related to the day may be found HERE.
Students with current class failures will not be permitted to attend. These students will be addressed individually by Mrs. Zelvy on Tuesday, May 22nd. 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 Mrs. Zelvy at zelvyl@sycamoreschools.org or 686-1760.

STEAM SHOWCASE
You are invited to Sycamore Community Schools first-ever K-12 STEAM Showcase on Saturday, May 12 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at E.H. Greene Intermediate.
The purpose of the event is to spotlight district-wide STEAM learning and local businesses and organizations that utilize STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) in their work. The showcase will consist of live demonstrations, presentations, competitions, giveaways, and hands-on activities for all ages.
Some of the local organizations who will be participating include UC Blue Ash, Kroger Technology, Apple, Gorilla Maker, and the city of Blue Ash and Montgomery.
We are also excited to show off some of the work that is happening in our classrooms, including live demos of the AVES electric car, Blue Ash GeoCity, Montgomery PBL Carnival, and FIRST LEGO League. There will be opportunities for families to work with robotics, Makedo, and virtual reality. Come make a Mother’s Day present on our 3D printers!
Local food trucks will be serving food and refreshments from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
We anticipate a large turnout for this indoor/outdoor event. A free shuttle service from Maple Dale Elementary to E.H. Greene will run between 11:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
