Poplar Bluff Junior High School

October 8-12

 WELCOME

Welcome back!  I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend.  Fall weather will be here at the end of the week!!  

WASHINGTON DC TRIP

The deadline to register for the Washington DC Trip has been extended until October 31, 2018. If any 8th grader  is still interested in going, contact Mrs. Moncier in Room 207.

Field Trips

When you attend field trips, you are representing our school.  If you misbehave on field trips, consequences will ensue and field trips will no longer be available.  Make good decisions on campus and away from campus

Fundraiser Items

Fundraiser items need to be picked up from 3:30-4:30 in the cafeteria on Tuesday, October 16th.  

Hall Passes

Beginning 2nd quarter, each student will receive 5 bathroom/drink passes for the quarter that will attach to the back of your ID.  If you need to use the restroom during class, you’ll need to use those passes. There are way too many students in the halls and leaving class each hour.  Please use the restrooms between classes and in the locker rooms in PE.

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.

Pumpkin Painting in Labs

Each academic lab will pain a pumpkin. These are due by Oct. 22.  We will have a penny war during lunch shifts from the 23-29. The pumpkin that wins will get all the money raised donated to their charity!  Get started painting! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Stoplight Dance

There will be a Stoplight Dance on October 19th.  See the flyer below. We will have a King and Queen for 7th and 8th grade that will be announced at the dance. Voting begins next week!  Students will pay $3 to get in and this include the bracelet.

Boys Basketball Tryouts

Boys basketball tryouts are October 15-17 right after school.  Make sure you have a physical on file and proof of insurance.

Wrestling Meeting

There will be an informational meeting Tuesday morning at 7:10 in the lower gym for any student interested in being on the JH Wrestling team.  

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.
