Middle School Reminders
ALL middle school students have a homeroom that meets four days a week at 11:15. These sessions are a wonderful opportunity for students to get help with assignments, ask questions, and hang out with their peers. Attendance is taken at these sessions, and students should attend when they are marked required.
Computers are school property and are intended for school use only. Many websites are blocked so that students are using their computers in accordance with the student handbook.
New this year – Math and ELA courses include programs to help target individual student’s needs. Students should spend at least 15 minutes a day in the program for math and 15 minutes a day in the ELA program. This is part of the grades in both courses.
