Last week was Respect Week at SFJH! 💚💛

Our staff and students had fun dressing up with all of the various themes. They dressed up as their grandparents or elderly figures they admired. They put themselves in another person's shoes by wearing one of their friends' shoes for the day. They also Razzle Dazzled in glitter or shiny outfits. They dressed for the job they want in the future and Dressed in Green and Gold to show their school spirit. Way to show RESPECT for your school SFJH!! 💚💛

This ties into a reading and writing unit students are working on:)

Our RISE Above program encourages parent involvement in our school! Parents can assist in several areas: hallways, cafeteria, morning greeters, etc. Please send an email to Melissa Ward for more information! Background checks are required.

• Lunch delivery: parents and emergency contacts listed in Skyward are the only ones that can drop off lunch for their students and they must check in at the front office. *No Door Dash Accepted. Energy drinks are not allowed on any SFISD campus.
• Please do not allow students to bring metal cups to school- this is for safety reasons- they cannot be taken through the metal detectors. They will be taken up. Metal thermos type containers are also not allowed.
• Friendly reminder for no hats, hoods, oversized house-shoes, low cut shirts, or shirts showing the midriff. Parents will be contacted if a student is out of dress code to help fix the violation. *Please make sure shirts do not show skin even when arms are lifted.
• Only water will be allowed in the classrooms. If a student has breakfast, tea, coffee, or soda upon entry, they will be allowed to go to the cafeteria to eat and drink.
• Students must wear their IDs at all times.

If a student's grade falls below 70 at progress report time, teachers will contact you. If you have questions or concerns about your child's grade, please reach out to their teacher. If you don't hear back from a teacher, let an administrator know and we can help get you connected.

We will be using Class Dojo as one form of communication this year! Make sure to get signed up! Please hang in there with us as we learn to use Dojo!

PBIS positive rewards! The criteria are as of September 3rd to participate in the reward. We will have grade level rewards each 9 weeks!

Increasing student attendance is one of our big goals for the year. We will have 9 week incentives, by grade level, that are going to be tied to good attendance. Please encourage your student to come to school every day!

*Students who are more than 10 minutes late to class will be counted absent.

*Make-up time will be required for those not in attendance for at least 90% of the day.

*Early release cut off is 2:40 pm

Absence notes can be turned into the front office or submitted electronically using Skyward Family Access. See below for an easy "how to."

Students are doing a great job complying with this policy!

If your student was inducted into the NJHS at the end of the year last year, please encourage them to get involved and attend all meetings. The NJHS leader is Ms. Mia Gonzalez.
