7th Grade Weekly News, March 10

Good morning. The third quarter is now over and onto the fourth. It is hard to believe that spring is almost upon us. This week we will be having our behavior expectations assembly as a reminder to students. One item I ask you to remind students of is our cell phone policy. Students are expected to place their phones in their lockers between 7:55-3:00. If they need to call home, they get permission from their teacher and are able to call from the office.

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.

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.
