Class T-Shirts
CLASS OF 2023 PARENTS: In the fall, we are implementing the statewide mandate of a Positive Behavioral Intervention Support (PBIS). The goal of PBIS is to develop common language around behavioral expectations in the building, as well as, to teach those expectations. PBIS will also feature acknowledgment of students who regularly meet our expectations. In an effort to build excitement and community around PBIS, we are selling class tee shirts. These shirts serve BOTH as spirit wear and to promote our expectations. Your child will not want to be without one! You can order your tee shirt online (and your child will be able to pick their shirt up in August at the schedule pick-up day)! If you have any questions, please contact Linsey Farroh: farrohl@sycamoreschools.org
Please click on the following link to order your shirt:

Assignments and instructions are located in Google Classrooms that students access using their Sycamore student accounts. See below for the Google Classroom codes. All summer reading assignments are due on the first day of school.

Karen Case/Becky White Award Winners
Each year the staff of Sycamore Junior High School recognizes two eighth grade students who exemplify the qualities of leadership, service, and outstanding character. The Karen Case/Becky White Award honors the memory of two former students of Sycamore Junior High School. Both of these young women passed away during their eighth-grade year while at the school, and despite ill health, both of them had a positive attitude and were full of school spirit.
The two eighth grade recipients of this year’s award were Bishop Carl and Deeya Prakash.
