PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Dear Parents,
It's hard to believe, but this week marked the midterm of our 1st quarter! You should have received your child's midterm progress report either in their Tuesday Express (K-6) or in the mail for 7th/8th grade students.
Parent/Teacher Conferences are coming up the week of September 25th. K-5 students will NOT have school on September 25th as teacher's prepare student work for the conferences. 6th-8th grade students will have a normal school schedule on September 25th. Conferences will be held on the evenings of Monday, September 25 and Thursday, September 28, from 4:00-6:00pm. This is a great time to also visit the Scholastic Book Fair.
Attention middle school parents:
Things are running smoothly, but we are finding we need to remind middle school students and their families of the procedures around tardies and student time out of the classroom.
- There has been a large increase in the number of students that are tardy between class periods. Please remember that 4 tardies equals once absence in a class. Please speak with your child about making sure they are not taking an excessive amount of time to transition between classes. Students that have 4 tardies in a week will be given lunch detention at the next lunch period.
- 7th/8th grade students have multiple transitions during the day to get class materials out of their lockers and use the restroom. Additionally students have 7 hall passes they may use per week for trips to their locker or restroom. Please help remind your students to manage their personal needs so they are not missing important class time.
Thank you everyone for your support!!
