Art Club
Art club will be beginning the first week of October. It is your chance to work on your art while having fun! Art club is open to all grades. Make sure you sign up before spaces run out. There are two different groups: Mondays and Thursdays. You can pick up a permission slip in the main office or print the attached PDF. There is also the option to sign up online through Schoolpay.
College Shirt Wednesdays!
Every Wednesday in October, students can sport college gear to support their favorite college or university!
Kenny Spear is returning to Romeo October 5th to work with students on Social Emotional Intelligence and will reach students through advisory and focus lunch groups.
Students just completed their NWEA testing. This fall test will help students set goals for the remainder of the year in both math and ELA classes. We will test again in January and then in April/May to monitor their progress.
7th Grade students will begin their Xello journey throughout the month of October. This will give them an opportunity to explore career pathways and to begin discussing the opportunities available to them through the Academies at Romeo High School. Each student has access to Xello on their chromebooks and it is a great starting point for parents and students to begin discussions about careers and post secondary education. Encourage your student to share their Xello accounts with you and feel free to reach out to Mrs. Bjorkstrand for more information.
