We have had a great week on the 7th-grade floor! Here are some reminders and important dates for the upcoming week:

1. Last Day of the Quarter: The last day of the quarter is on October 12th. Please remind your students to complete any missing assignments before this date to ensure they have a chance to improve their grades for this quarter.

2. No School on Friday: There will be no school on Friday. It's a good opportunity for students, parents and teachers to have a well-deserved break.

Open House Slideshow

A couple key points from the slide show:

Detentions

• No longer after school
• Will be served at 7:00 am and students need to report at that time to the main office
• If a detention is not served, they will be give a Saturday detention
• Saturday detentions will be held at the high school for 2 hours

Progressive Discipline for minor behaviors

• Students can receive 3 detentions then they will be issued a Saturday Detention
• Then students can receive 3 Saturday Detentions then they will be issued In-School Suspension
• Then students can receive 3 In-School Suspensions before out of school suspensions will be issued

**This does not include major behaviors according to the hand book.

Please access our handbook HERE . It is also available on the website. Students and parents should review this together. Students will also review this with staff as well the first week of school.
