September 25-29, 2017
WELCOME
Welcome back! I hope you all had a great weekend!
NO SCHOOL
There will be no school on Friday, September 29, due to a teacher collaboration day.
Rope the Indians Week
This Thursday will be our next JH Home football game vs. the Jackson Indians. On Thursday, we will have spirit day and all students are encouraged to wear western wear for our theme of “Rope the Indians”
Second Chance Breakfast
This week we will have an 8th grade table set up by the vending machines for 2nd chance breakfast too, to try and help with the crowds.
Mid-Term Grades
Mid term grades went home on Friday. I will be meeting with each student who has two or more F’s, so we can set-up an academic plan.
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.
Tutoring
Tutoring is available everyday after school in Mrs. Wilson’s room and before school in Mrs. Dell’s room.. Students who have two or more F’s at mid-terms will be in mandatory tutoring.
Challenge to You
Your new challenge: 8th grade, if you have less than 110 referrals by the end of the quarter, you may get your cell phones out at lunch. 7th grade, if you have less than 156 referrals by the end of the quarter, you will earn phones during lunch.
Bullying Awareness Month in October
October is Bullying Awareness month and we have a few activities planned. We would like each academic lab to decorate a door, or a bulletin board, hallway or posters. I’ll provide posters if you let me know how many you’d like. It would be fun to incorporate a Halloween theme since it’s October. Tell your teacher your ideas!
School Store
Our school store is opening in the next two weeks. I have narrowed down the school store names from the survey you took, to the top 5. Vote this week for your favorite on Google Classroom.
Student E-mail
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.
