7th Grade Weekly News, May 4

May is here and our 7th graders had their field trips this week. I am proud to say that our students represented our school and community well and had a great time in the process. We even had an unsolicited caller express how well our students behaved.

Just a reminder, we have math state testing on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please be sure your students get a good night sleep, eat a good breakfast, and be on time for school.

Progress Challenge #2:

On behalf of the PBIS committee, we are excited to introduce our next Progress Challenge! Starting this Monday, April 15th and going through Monday, May 20th, we will be tracking attendance data for every team. Each week, we will announce grade level winners and award the trophy based upon the highest percentage of students present in school from the previous week. The overall team winners from each grade level will also be awarded a prize to celebrate their achievement once the Progress Challenge is completed.

What We Need From You:

Please have your student(s) prepared and ready to attend school daily unless they are not medically able to do so. We want to end the year strong and attendance is an essential part of education.

I hope everyone has a nice weekend.

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.
