During our 6th Grade mini check-ins this month, the students and I discussed the following topics that we would like for you to discuss at home with them:
Attendance- We acknowledge students with 100% attendance and encourage others to improve their personal attendance rates.
All families should be aware of their child’s school attendance and lateness. Be sure to always remain in good standing.
Challenge yourself to try new things, build your confidence, take the exams and build your stamina. It is okay if it is hard, we are here to help.
Arista credit/ hours was due on May 15th. (If they did not complete their hours, I am willing to help them, but they must let me know they need help).
We reviewed our 3 Core Values:
Keep your hands to yourself. Don’t Touch anyone or their belongings.
If you have nothing nice to say to someone, then don't say anything at all.
You don’t have to love each other, but you have to respect each other and our community.
Student Handbook: Please review the information pertaining to the topics listed below with your child (click here to view the handbook).

Planning a Family Vacation or Extending a Weekend?
Please be aware that family vacations should be planned to coincide with the school calendar. If you are extending your weekend or vacation, for example attending sports tournaments, please be mindful that teachers are planning lessons on a daily basis for students in attendance. Therefore, to make prior arrangements for assignments, projects, and other instructional activities involving work that has not yet been presented is something we do not endorse.
Also, student absences will be treated as an “unexcused absence”. You should also be aware that teachers cannot be expected to provide “catch up” work or to administer missed exams for students that have been on vacation. Nor shall teachers be required to repeat lessons that were given during the vacation period.
Parents and students should monitor Pupil Path regularly and make up work when they arrive back to class. Please keep this in mind when planning your next family vacation.
