End of Year Dance
The end of the year dance is May 31, 2024 from 5:30-7:00pm. We are looking for about 20 volunteers to chaperone. SIGN UP HERE. We also want to take the time to publicly thank Dominic Paz and family for DJ'ing all of our dances this year. We cannot put together these events without the support of parents. THANK YOU!
End of Year Expecations
As we wind down the end of year, we can feel students excitement rise as they get ready to start summer. We need your help to remind students summer doesn't start until June 14th at 3:45pm!
Our expectations are the same, but here are few we want to review with students.
Please remind students to limit bathroom or nurse visits. We have some students who ask to use the restroom every period and/or visit the nurse daily.
Students need to be in class on time. We are seeing an increase in tardies. You can view your students tardies in studentvue.
Keep hands to self. This includes play fighting or "joking" around with friends. All student should keep hands to self at all times.
With the weather warming up, we are seeing an increase in students bringing squirt guns and other water toys. These items cause a disruption and are prohibited on campus. Please talk to your child and ensure your child is not bringing these items to school.
Remember to attend the school dance no more than 5+ referrals or a 2/3 referral. Continued infraction will result in the loss of privileges including end of year school events: 8th grade PSU visit, 8th grade Oaks Park, 6th grade kickball tournament, 7th grade end of year celebration, etc.
Please note we will not refund money for field trips if students loss their privilege to attend.
Counseling Corner
6th Grade Counselors are preparing for next week to offer a lesson on Responding to Bullying and Harassment. Here is the slide deck. Our last presentation was first a review of guidance to date, and a discussion of Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviors. Here is that slide deck. We hope you will also review and talk to your kids about the content!
Mr. Nguyen held the first Student Congress Meeting on Monday before school from 8:15-9 am. It was great to have two 6th graders participating; I’m hoping we will have a larger number of our amazing leaders at the next meeting on Monday, June 3rd at 8:15 am in the cafeteria. Please mark your calendars!
As always, if you have questions or concerns please reach out! Happy to talk via phone, or set up a time to meet in person.
FREE Summer activity for student age 13 and older: Junior Educator program allows teens ages 13 -17 to join a camp learning leadership and job skills in an outdoor setting for free.
