This week will be our first Delayed Start Wednesday of the school year. At the Junior High that means that classes will begin at 10:00am. Our doors open at 9:30am. Students will report to their 2nd hour class at the start of the day. This allows us to ensure that all students get breakfast as soon as they enter the building. Students will then follow the daily schedule below:

• 2nd hour
• 1st hour
• WIN
• 3rd Hour
• lunch/4th hour or 4th hour/lunch (lunch period assignment remain the same)
• 5th hour
• 6th hour

The Junior High runs Study Hall on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays each week. Study Hall is supervised by our certified teachers that are able to support a variety of subjects. There is no cost to attend and no sign up required. Students only need to have their own transportation home at 4:05.

For safety reasons, all students will sign in each afternoon and unless prior arrangements are made they will remain in the classroom until dismissal at 4:05.

Students can use this as a safe and supervised place to work on homework, receive extra help, utilize internet to complete projects, or wait for transportation. All students are welcome to attend.

All students will participate in NWEA testing on Tuesday and Friday this week in the areas of Reading and Math. This assessment provides us with information regarding your child's individual growth in both content areas. At the Junior High we will use this assessment data along with additional information to place each child in a WIN group that is designed around their individual needs.

On test day it is important that your child arrives on time to school with a fully charged chromebook. Students will spend the morning working through the testing. We are looking forward to the students showing us what they know!

Picture Day is Thursday, September 12th. All students received a picture form during their 6th hour class on Wednesday. All students will have their picture taken on 9/12. Picture Retakes are scheduled for Friday, October 18th.

Homecoming is early this year. Our Homecoming Game will be on Friday, September 20th! That week leading up to Homecoming will be our Spirit Week. Be sure that your student can show their Green and Gold. We have put together spirit packs available only at the Junior High. Items are available for purchase in the main office or during lunches for our students. Show your Spirit!!

Coloma Community Schools recommends that accidental breakage assurance be purchased prior to the deployment of the Chromebook to your child. Coloma Community Schools will be the sole provider of this assurance. Under this assurance agreement, the Chromebooks are protected against theft or accidental damage. The Coloma Community Schools will require that a police report be submitted in cases of theft. A student making a false report will be subject to disciplinary action as outlined by the school code of conduct.

This accidental breakage assurance policy does not cover for loss of the Chromebook and/or its accessories, cosmetic damage, or damages caused by intentional misuse and abuse. Coloma Community Schools will assess the Chromebook damage and repair or replace the device if the damage is determined to be accidental and within the protection guidelines. Parents/Students may be charged for full replacement cost of a device that has been lost or damaged due to intentional misuse or abuse.

The accidental breakage assurance cost is $20.00 annually for each chromebook 6th grade through 12th grade. It is non-refundable.
