Poplar Bluff Junior High School
September 11-15, 2017
WELCOME
I hope you all enjoyed a nice weekend!
Lunch
Students, please make sure you are keeping your table clean and your trash picked up in the cafeteria. Remember to use the stairs to your left as you exit the lunchroom. Our outdoor area is awesome! The rules out there are simple: don’t leave food on the ground, don’t twirl the umbrellas, only 4-5 to a table and ENJOY the sunshine and outdoors! I hope you guys love that area as much as I do.
Clubs
We will meet on Club Day every other Friday. If you’d like to join the Jr Mule Barn club, you must join their Google Classroom! Code: qnb0fo
Cleaning Supply Drive to help Houston
We will be having a cleaning supply drive for the next two weeks to help the students who were affected by the Hurricane in Houston. Academic labs will be competing against each other.
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! Parent letters went home this week explaining the program.
Girl Assemblies
This Thursday, all girls will go to the gymnasium during their academic labs to hear an assembly from Christy Frazier-Moore. Information letters were sent home to parents this week. Christy will be coming back every month to meet with any girl who would like to participate.
Challenge to You
Remember Mr. Dowd and I gave you a challenge the first week of school. If your grade level has less than 50 office referrals at mid-term, we would let you have your phones out at lunch.
Cell Phone Reminder
Any student who uses their cell phone to video a fight, or any other inappropriate actions or uses it to bully other students at school via social media will be suspended. We have zero tolerance on bullying.
Fundraiser
Fundraiser money and order forms are due this Wednesday. It takes 10 items to attend the Cardinal’s game!
BADGES
Reminder: Kiddos, it is mandatory for everyone in the building to have their name badge displayed at all times during the day except in PE classes. Consequences for not abiding with the policy will be more harsh including loss of privileges to attend and participate in extracurricular activities. It is a safety issue that our badges are worn in the building. Your homeroom teachers will pass those out and collect them every day. Let your teacher know if you need a lanyard, and I will get you one.
