Help prevent summer reading loss by reading a great book! Studies have shown that reading proficiency levels can decrease over the summer. To help lessen the loss of reading skills, students at Sycamore Junior High are encouraged to keep reading all summer. All of the language arts classes at the junior high have summer reading expectations. 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.

LAST CHANCE TO PROVIDE YOUR FEEDBACK
Sycamore Community Schools continues to engage with students, families, and staff about the growing social and emotional needs of our students and staff. The addition of our school-based therapists through Cincinnati Children’s Hospital was our first step in supporting those student needs. We are proud to announce that beginning in the 2019-2020 school year, every school will be staffed with a school-based therapist. Having a mental health partner allows access to treatment for the students who need it, with greater accessibility.
District administrators have initiated the process of developing a comprehensive strategic plan to identify the mental health needs of our students, families, and staff. We have engaged with 1N5, a local nonprofit organization is committed to stopping the stigma and starting the conversation by increasing awareness and education about mental health.
Students in grades 7-12, teachers, and families received a voluntary survey developed by 1N5 and the district to drive our needs assessment during the week of April 29. While your participation is not mandatory, your honest and open feedback will be crucial in helping us move forward with the proper plans. All of your responses will be kept confidential.
Please share your thoughts with us through this survey link
Medication Pick up
Medication Pick up

Summer MAP
PBIS
As the year winds down, we continue to share some resources that might be helpful for you over the summer and during this time of transition in your child’s life. This week’s resource is a New York Times Best Seller children’s book! What Do You Do With a Problem? Is the story of a child who isn’t sure what to do with a problem and how that problem only grows larger when ignored. When the child finally does face the problem, he finds out it was quite different than it appeared. While it is a children’s book, it has a great message for all of us. You can find it on your next trip to the local library or at the Amazon link we have provided above. We hope you take a look and enjoy it!
LOST AND FOUND
After the STEAM showcase this weekend there will be tables lining the hallway by the office in hopes kids will see their list items folded on the table. It’s overflowing. Anything not claimed will be donated to OGB.
