7th Grade Weekly News, March 17

Good morning. As I was speaking to students this week, I realized we have 8 weeks left this school year. Our students will be moving up another level and expectations will rise. I am so proud of this group of students and know their futures will be filled with happiness and success.

Reminders:

Ms. Joyce, our school social worker, is in need of school supplies, gently used clothing or household supplies to fill the SMS Caring Closet. See flyer below.

Order your yearbooks. The deadline in April is fast approaching.

I hope everyone has a nice extended weekend.

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.
