7th Grade

Finals Week

Tuesday - Science & Literacy

Heartland Families!
It has been a true blessing working with these 7th graders this year. I am so proud of the growth that they have shown over the year. It is hard to believe that in just a few short days, they will be the oldest and the leaders of Heartland.

I hope everyone enjoys their summer and is able to spend quality time with family and friends.

I look forward to seeing everyone back here in August!

I'll continuously add things to this as we prepare for next year...but for now...v

SHOW CHOIR AUDITIONS ARE COMING UP!

Here is some information:

- Show Choir is where you sing, dance, and perform all at the same time. You will go to competitions and perform in every HMS Choir Concert.

- It is not limited to treble voices. Many Show Choirs have tenor/bass voices in them!

- They are open to any current 7th grader interested (which means you do not already have to be in choir to participate).

- You also do not have to take both Show Choir and Choir to be in it.

Auditions will be a two-day process.

Monday, May 13th - Vocal/Solos

Wednesday, May 15th - Dance

**You will receive a video of the dance on Monday at 5:00 pm via EMAIL to learn for the Wednesday audition**

Monday's audition:

You will receive a minute timeslot to sing a verse and a chorus of a song of your choosing (school appropriate). You must sing acapella or have a karaoke track link prepared.

Wednesday's audition:

Meet at 2:30 pm on Heartland's stage in the Cafeteria in choreography comfortable clothes. You will audition the dance that you learned over video and practiced.

The list will be posted on Thursday, May 16th after school on Miss McKinzie's door (Room 500). Next year's Show Choir will be competing in competitions throughout the year and will perform at each concert.

Direct any questions to Miss McKinzie over email or in room 500!

Thank you!

Happy month of MAY!!!!!! Parents and guardians this is a good time to talk with your student about behavior. As we are closer to ending the school year, we want to ensure that students maintain the RISE expectations. Let's end the year strong.

This week we will work on our final project, in which students will design their own utopia and create a brochure depicting it. These projects are due on Wednesday, May 22nd.

We will be preparing for and taking our final on Tuesday, May 21st. Our final will be over the book The Shadow Club by Neil Shusterman; our final novel of the year.

Science final will take place on Tuesday, May 21.

This week all 7th graders will take the math placement test on Monday and Tuesday. We will continue working on the project (Percent Project: Design Your Own Taco Truck) for the rest of the week and also review for our math final which will be on Wednesday May 22nd.

This week students will learn about Data; display, describe and compare data sets using summary statistics; learn to display data and calculate statistics; determine sample size and sample space; calculate probabilities and experimental probabilities; apply probability concepts to real-world situations; understand the relationships between these concepts and words “AND”, “OR”, and “NOT”.

We will have our final on Wednesday, May 22.

Use this link for a tutorial on how to connect to your child's canvas account as a parent observer.

What is Canvas?

Canvas is where your child's teachers post assignments and the plan for each week. If your child is absent, this is where to go to find the work they missed. If your child says they have turned in an assignment that is marked missing in the gradebook, this is often (if it is a digital submission) where they can show you the assignment has actually been submitted or not.

Use this link to check your child's current grades.

What is Infinite Campus?

This is where your child's current official grade in progress is visible. This is where teachers will flag assignments that your child is missing. If a child submit an assignment late, it will not instantly update on Infinite Campus because the teacher has to take time to grade it. Additionally, if your child fails to turn in an assignment, it may take a week or so for it to be flagged as missing. With that being said, if you know your child has consistent issues with not completing work, you may want to check Canvas to see what assignments they are to be completing each week. With Infinite Campus, you will be able to see what assignments haven't been turned in after the fact, but again, there is a bit of a delay.

Infinite Campus grades are used for all extracurricular competition eligibility determinations. If your child is failing a class, the first week they are put on academic probation. The second consecutive week with a failing grade results in ineligibility to compete until all grades are up to passing scores.
