Poplar Bluff Junior High School

October 1-5

WELCOME

Welcome back! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!  The weather was AMAZING!

Fields of Faith

Will be held at the High school football field  on Wednesday, October 3, at 7:00 p.m. T-shirts will be on sale for $10.00 that evening.

Tutoring

Math tutoring on Mondays, Science tutoring will be on Tuesday, English on Wednesday and social studies on Thursday.  I will announce at the end of the day what room that will be in. The library is open everyday after school from 3-4 for catching up on work and using the Chromebooks.

ICU

Our ICU program is up and going!  This program is not intended to be a “punishment”.  It’s an extra support designed to help students complete their work and learn the material. Put forth your best efforts and complete your work on time!  If you end up on the list repetitively, then before/after school tutoring or Saturday schools will be used to help get you caught up.

House Competitions

This week we start over on house competitions!  Every 4 weeks, we crown the winner with a trophy!  At the end of the semester, the house that wins, will get a field trip to the movies! Congrats to House Ma Luo for winning our first House Trophy of Awesomeness!

Student Email

All student email is monitored. If you use it for reasons other than school or we find anything inappropriate, you will lose access to your Google account.

Cell Phone Reminder

We are seeing lots of cell phones being used in class.  Remember, if you have it out, it will be taken and turned into the office.
