Calling All Eighth Grade Families!!
Student Planner Resource
Bobcat Builder Words
Rhetoric (noun)
The art of speaking or writing effectively
Example: The ELA teacher was impressed with the rhetoric in the student's papers.
Imply (verb)
To express indirectly
Example: Johnny says, “I would be okay if we never ate at that restaurant again.” *He did not say he did not like the food. He implied it.
Student Identification Badges Are Required
In addition to the automated messages, the new computer system does not allow students to enter their lunch numbers. Students need to scan their identification badges when going through the lunch line. Students without badges must have their names manually entered in the system. Help us get your child fed in a timely manner; encourage them to keep track of and bring their student identification badge to school each and every day. They should have a specific location in their backpack where they always put their ID badge.
