7th Grade Weekly News, March 3

Good morning. Now that we are in March, hopefully the weather will finally stay warm. Friday, March 8 is the end of the quarter. Please remind students to be sure assignments are completed. Also, don't forget about ordering your yearbooks. The last day to do so is approaching.

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.

In the spirit of giving, I would like to thank all who donated to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The Globetrotters and Pioneers teams were able to raise over $1,000 each. Together, the 7th grade teams were able to raise over $3,000. As an incentive to raise these funds, both Mr. Misencik (Pioneers) and Mr. Maatz (Globetrotters) told students that they would wear a onesie to school. Mr. Maatz even agreed to be duck taped to a wall. Thanks to both of these great teachers. Pictures are below.

I hope everyone has a great week.

The Honors Extension class were building/creating prototypes of rockets in their small groups to prepare for their final project in Ms. Szabo's class.

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.
