Let the Mid-Winter Slide Begin

You know what I hate most about this time of year? Not the cold weather, not the ice on my driveway, not even the lack of daylight....what I hate most is this is the time of year that students start to slide with their grades/assignments. I'm no different when it comes to the "slide" except that I've been through it enough to realize when I start to fall into the "slide". It happens partly because of the time of year, partly because they've settled into a routine and partly because of the light at the end of the tunnel seems pretty dim. This is the time of year that we all have to slip into a bit of a cheerleading mode to get the kids focused. Please help us keep the kids on track and motivated. Keep preaching short term goals. We can do this but just like every year, it'll take a team effort.

The ball is rolling....our job is to keep it rolling.

How Do Rumors Get Started?

Got three or four phone calls yesterday regarding the Washington DC meeting. All had heard that if your didn't attend the meeting you wouldn't be allowed to go on the trip (????). That couldn't be further from the truth. Picking a day for a meeting that everyone can make is impossible. If you missed the meeting please ask your student to pick up a packet of information in the office, look it over then give me a call with any questions. It's an absolutely awesome trip that we'd like every student to experience.

WOW...What a Day

We've got a couple of things going on....

Tonight we have our Washington DC parent meeting for all interested 7th graders at 7:00 pm in our cafeteria.

Today we had an awesome performance from our Drama Class that went hand and hand with our No Bullying Week. Hats off to all the students involved and to Mrs. McDonell for putting this all together.

Because of the snowday we've done a little adjusting to our No Bullying weekly schedule. Tomorrow (Friday) we're asking all the kids to wear white to support our stance on No Bullying. As over the past few days, please take this opportunity to talk to your child about the activities they have been involved with and their thoughts on our efforts. As I've mentioned, these opportunities get farther and farther apart as they get older.

Washington DC Meeting

We will be having our Washington DC parent meeting for all 7th graders that are interested in the trip on Thursday, January 13th from 7:00 to 8:00 pm in our cafeteria. This is an absolutely AWESOME trip that we want every kid to experience. At the meeting we'll discuss the trip, give parents a chance to ask questions and to sign up for next year's trip. Please make every attempt to attend this meeting.
