November 3-November
#8
School-Wide Event (Thanks Mr. Moreno)
Please see the info shared from Mr. Moreno below:
This year, there will be a no-shave November competition for male staff to promote men's mental health during anti- bullying week in November.
Additionally, ANY staff can donate $10 to officially wear jeans on Wednesday until the end of the year. I am working with Judy Faircloth to find a local mental health group to support with our donation.
Here are the rules:
Notify me by email by October 28th if you would like to participate with the subject "NSN."
I will need a "before picture" from you so students can see the difference.
You are allowed to clean shave at the end of October.
Then you must grow out your facial hair until voting / growing ends on November 24th.
Trimming the facial hair for professional appearance IS permitted.
Students will vote for the "best" and most "unique" facial hair during lunch on November 23rd and final pictures for the reveal will be taken by November 24th.
All donations and proceeds will benefit mental health as this event will be happening during the school's anti-bullying week.
Winners will be announced during a "Steeler Family Gathering" assembly the day before fall break.
We hope to see you there!
Tardy to Class?
This has changed/morphed from last year...The process is now MUCH better!
- Each time a student is late, document it in eSchool
CLOSED Late #1 to math. Emailed/called home.
CLOSED Late #2 to math. Emailed/called home.
OPEN Late #3 to math. Emailed/called home. AFTER SCHOOL DETENTION NEEDED
We have had a very quick turnaround with this method.
ELA Updates
Students' schedules entire schedules will not be changing. Instead, just the teacher that they go to during their original RTI period may change.
Teacher Expectation Reminders
1. Teachers must be in the hall during passing time. Especially during periods 5,6,7, and 8. This is non-negotiable.
2. Classroom doors should be open and ready to welcome students at 7:20 am.
3. Food/drink is NOT allowed in the classroom. It should NOT leave the cafeteria.
