Tailgate Parties Friday October 16th-  7th grade a.m. and 8th Grade p.m. 

End of the Quarter- The end of the first quarter is this Friday.  Grades are due next Wednesday October 14th by 3:00 p.m. Report cards will be sent home on Thursday October 15th.  The new quarter starts on Monday Oct. 12th and here is the list of students returning for 2nd quarter.  It has been updated over the course of last week.  2nd Quarter Status.  If there are some students that you do not see on the list and are wondering about please let us know.  

Trust Cards-  They are coming soon.  We are currently status quo on flex areas until they come out.  Teachers can take classes out to the stairs whole group if desired.  Individual and small groups of students should not be in flex areas or on the stairs until they have trust cards.  Table tennis tables have been placed in flex areas and should only be used by students with trust cards.  Equipment can be checked out of the media center when trust cards come out.  Optimum times for these to be used would be during Wednesday advisory times or when students are finished with other advisory work.   

Check Ins- The second round of check ins start this week.  Topics of conversation are How are you doing?  How can we help?  Student learning data- How are you students doing and how do you know?  (Grades, NWEA, etc.). Yearly goals- share with your evaluator on first draft of goal.  

Anti-Bullying presentation-  Audria will be sending out a presentation that all students must watch during advisory.  This is mandated by the state each year and we appreciate your flexibility in working this into your advisory plans.
