7th Grade Weekly News, September 8

I hope everyone had a fantastic Labor Day weekend. This week teachers and some students have been preparing for our implementation of our new E-hallpass system that is going live on Monday, September 11. This system will replace the current paper version of hallpasses with a digital program that will allow us to safely be sure that every student in the building is accounted for.

Below are some great books that capture the patriotism and courage that occured on and after September 11th. Mrs. Smith, our Media Specialist, put together a collection of books that helps our students understand the event. She has included the names of the books, as well as a quick summary as to what they are all about. We will never forget. Please encourage your child to take a look in the Media Center if they have an interest in learning more about this day.

Thanks everyone. Have a wonderful week.

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.
