7th Grade Weekly News, January 21
From the desk of Chris Howell, Assistant Principal
Mother Nature ensured that we had a short week. I am sure that many of our students loved that. While we were not able to accomplish everything we planned, we still had a great week.
- The Yearbook Cover Contest is complete. Thank you students for submitting entries.
- We honored our top 10% of students with the Mustang of the Month Breakfast. Keep up the amazing work students.
I hope everyone has a great week.

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.
