Hope you had a relaxing break!  7K will have health and art for electives this quarter.  Report Cards will be sent home Tuesday, January 6th.  They need to be signed and returned ASAP.  If you have any questions or concerns, contact any of the teachers at your earliest convenience.

Study Island will be an extra credit option for my 7th-8th grade math classes.  It is great reinforcement on topics we have covered and topics we will cover before the ISAT test in March.  Log in often to work on activities in math, language arts, and reading.

Learn about us!

This week in our classes...

	Our classroom is room #170.  We are the 5th room on the left in the junior high hallway.  Stop in and see our headquarters!
	I will do my best to update the calendar on this page weekly.  Daily assignments will not be included.  These are the responsibility of the students and should be written in the assignment books each night.
	Student grades can be monitored online through Edline.  If you have trouble accessing your child's information, please contact Mrs. Roberta Gray, tech coordinator.
	Please let me know your thoughts on my webpage.  If you have any ideas on improvement, I'll gladly listen.

	The 7th grade students will have art, computers/Spanish, music, public speaking, health, and P.E. during the elective times.
	Check out Our Schedule to see exactly how this works!
	Our 6th-8th grade students number 99 this year: 31 8th graders, 36 7th graders, and 32 6th graders.
	Any students who go home for lunch still need to have a dated note for that day and to sign out and in at the office.
	Short-wearing days are October 15th and after April 15th!  Please follow the handbook guidelines for dress code.  Shorts should be at least fingertip length and "flip-flops" and "heelys" are not allowed at any grade level.
