I’m looking for 3 students from each house in the 7th grade, to be on a school improvement committee that will meet with me on working on ideas for school improvement. You will receive the application and details in academic lab on Tuesday.
Hallway Behavior
The hallways have become way too loud during passing times and in the mornings coming up from breakfast. There is no need to shout and scream. Use inside voices or you will be asked to go back and try again until it’s an acceptable noise level.
