7th Grade Weekly News, November 3

We had another fun week on the second floor, especially with the Halloween festivities. As we begin the month of November, we want to recognize our Mustangs of the Month and our Pride QR winners. Both groups of students are great role models for the entire student body. Congratulations!

PRIDE QR Codes are given by staff to all students throughout the day who are seen going above and beyond for demonstrating expected behaviors of PRIDE <Prepared, Respectful, Inclusive, Determined and Engaged> Teams celebrate students weekly at their team meetings, but as a building we will also celebrate all the efforts made by our students each month. We are proud of our students and their effort to be their BEST and SMS.

Our Veteran's Day Parade is scheduled for November 13th at 9:00am. If you haven't sent in your RSVP, please do so today! We are hoping to have all our Family Veterans and Friends join us in a morning of celebrating your service. If the weather does not allow a parade, we have an alternative presentation planned. Please RSVP HERE Today!

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.
