A Note From the Principal
While this first quarter has another four weeks before Quarter 1 grades are issued, the 1/2 way progress reporting window has closed and progress grades will post on Infinite Campus at 3:00 p.m., Tuesday the 13th. Keep in mind that this is to show student progress and is not a final grade. Students with low grades and missing assignments should be working with their teachers to make improvement over the next four weeks, before final grades close on October 7th.
Please remember that we are here to support your student and recall my ask at Back to School Night that you partner with us, assume best intentions, and ask questions first. In the two years that students are here we want them to grow their self-advocacy and responsibility skills, in addition to academic skills, so they are prepared for high school expectations. We are not looking for perfection in these skills at junior high, rather we seek growth for each individual during their time here and that growth can be at different rates for different children.
Finally our first Scripted Lockdown Drill will take place this Friday, September 16th during the advisory period (9:54 am. - 10:17 a.m.). This is an educational drill, not an active drill. Our School Resource Officer (SRO), Deputy Gonzales and I will speak to students over RioTV and their teachers will have some short 30-90 second discussions between various instructional pieces we give. If you have any concerns about your student sitting through this important drill, please reach out to their counselor.
Finally, please remind your student to have their school ID with them every day. They need to be scanned onto campus each morning and need their ID to get their free breakfast and free lunch from the cafeteria each day, should they choose to take advantage of that service.
Thank you and have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Bennett
