October is College Application Month in Michigan. Although this may seem so far away for some of our students, it’s always fun to inquire with your child(ren) about their long term goals, career visions, or postsecondary educational plans. The best part? There are so many avenues to be explored! College, Trade School, Military, Employment, Technical College, and more! If you are looking for a one stop shop to research any field of interest, Xello is an amazing resource.

Students can access Xello through their gmail account by clicking the waffle in the upper right hand corner. Scroll down to find this image.

★ 6th Grade

• 6th Grade Minute Meetings have continued and have been such a success! Please encourage your student to reach out to Mrs. Skover if they ever need anything!!

• As we have reached the end of October, it is important to continue checking in with your student’s class progress. Please continue to check Powerschool and Schoology grades WITH your student. This is a key skill for students to have as they progress through middle school. Please reach out directly if you or your child need their Powerschool/Schoology login information.

★ 7th Grade

• Minute meetings continue to be a great opportunity to check in with students! If something comes up that needs further attention or action, counselor and student will meet in the office to chat and come up with a solution.

• You are always welcome to reach out. Perhaps sharing something personal that is going on that may be impacting your child at school or sharing a success they recently had! Either way, I look forward to hearing from you!

★ 8th Grade

• Homework Help has been running during lunches for our 8th grade students who are failing 2 or more classes. Mrs. Bjorkstrand will be emailing students and parents with an Academic Alert on Fridays and will recheck on Monday morning. Any student with 2 or more Fs will be eating lunch in the Homework Help room and working on missing assignments. The end of the trimester is right around the corner (Nov. 15th) and we want all of our 8th grade students to pass their classes and have a successful 1st trimester. We have run this program for the last 3 weeks and it has helped many students get back on track and get the extra support they need.

• Minute Meetings continue to take place during R-Time 1st Hour and it has been great getting to start my day checking in with our students. I love finding out their interests and making sure they all have a “go-to” person in our building. We will continue these throughout the year with the goal of meeting with all students.

• Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have or to share any concerns. I am here to support all of our 8th grade students and to be the link between school and home if there are questions. Shelley Bjorkstrand
