February Newsletter

As a new 6th grader, you're embarking on an exciting journey of discovery and learning. This is a time when you'll be expanding your knowledge and developing new skills that will serve you well throughout your academic and personal life. You'll be learning about a wide range of subjects, from history and math to science and literature, and you'll be challenged to think critically and creatively about the world around you.

In addition to your academic pursuits, you'll also have the opportunity to explore your interests and passions through extracurricular activities, clubs, and sports teams. You'll meet new friends and develop important social skills that will help you navigate the challenges of adolescence and build strong relationships with others.

6th grade is an exciting and rewarding time, and I'm excited to be a part of your journey. If you have any questions or concerns along the way, don't hesitate to reach out and ask for help. Together, we can help you achieve your goals and make the most of this important year.

Help IS24 in our Climate Action Plan!

By signing up for the Recycling Committee you will be monitoring the recycling can in the cafeteria during your lunch period. Making sure students ONLY dispose of recyclable plastic bottles & cans.

Eat during your scheduled time and man the can during your outside/auditorium time.

You will sign-up for 1 week at a time. This will qualify for a school sanctioned event as well as 2 hours of community service.

Once we collect enough bottles, student government representatives will be cashing them in as a school fundraiser!

Student spotlight is an excellent way to give recognition to our students who have excelled in various aspects of their school life. It is a platform that allows students to showcase their talents, skills, and achievements. This recognition can motivate and inspire other students to strive for excellence in their academic and extracurricular activities.

By highlighting the achievements of students, it encourages a culture of excellence and hard work within the school community.

Our student spotlight provides an opportunity for the school community to get to know their students better. It gives them a glimpse of their personalities, interests, and aspirations, which can help to build stronger relationships between students, teachers, and parents.

Attendance in school increases your chances of academic success. Because of this, we would like to reward the classes that maintain a high attendance rate.

• Ice cream to the 1st place class of 8th grade every month

• Special Trip to those who maintain 100% attendance in June

• Those students who have had perfect attendance through January will be receiving a special afternoon surprise in February!
