New for 2024-2025:

At Pleasant Hope Middle School, we want all students to complete all assignments in order to learn! We will use the Power of the ICU this year to help us better monitor missing work.

Here’s how the Power of the ICU system works:

• Teachers post missing work on the database each day and when a student is missing the assignment, the student, parent/guardian, coaches, and Pirate Time teachers all get an alert. Make-up work will be placed on the ICU list to make sure work is completed when a student is absent. Alerts only sent for missing work.

• This will be the tool that provides accurate information about missing assignments! No more trying to figure out missing assignments using Google Classroom and/or the parent portal.

• Once completed and approved by the teacher, coach, or staff member, the assignment will be removed from the ICU list within 24 hours. Please note: The removed assignment may not be graded at that time, but this will show the entire team that the work is complete.

• If a student reaches 5 or more missing assignments then one of our Lifeguards (faculty/staff) will meet with the student and ask the student the following questions… 1) Who do you owe? 2) What do you owe? 3) What do you need? 4) How can I help?

• Once this conversation takes place, a plan for completing work will be put into motion. ICU Study Halls with classroom teachers will be available before school, during breakfast, during the school day, during lunch, after school, and during practices.

For those not on the list, “Pop Up” rewards/trips/events will occur weekly and monthly to encourage responsibility, time management, and quality of work. The Power of the ICU program will benefit all those on the team!

PHMS 2024-2025 Academic Goal: Every Student Completes Every Assignment!

New for 2024-25:
