WELCOME BACK!
We hope you had a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving!
After the upcoming winter holidays, many schedules will change due to semester electives changing. If your 8th grader is interested in being a TA for the Spring semester, instead of another elective that they have, please have them email me HERE to express their interest. They MUST have at least a 2.0 and WILL earn a grade for being a TA moving forward. We cannot guarantee that we will have space, however, please let us know!
INDEPENDENT STUDY INFORMATION: Please note that ALL I.S. contracts MUST be given to our office FIVE DAYS prior to going on Independent Study. We will NOT be able to grant IS Contracts that are given in short notice. Additionally, please note that all of the work that is turned in upon return for IS, will be graded last as teachers will grade the work that was completed on time first and then enter all remaining work! Thanks for your patience!
PLEASE take a moment to check out THIS VERY HELPFUL LINK to see the various apps, video games, TV shows, books, and games that are out there for our kids to download. Did you know that there is a hidden camera app? Did you know that certain video games have the highest ratings for violence? Do you know all of the Social Media apps out there? Check out the website and use the knowledge WILL help you!!
We know that middle school can be a ROUGH time for kids AND for parents! Here is a fantastic website (that we have mentioned several times) on ways that you can get some practical tips for social and emotional support for your student. Check out THIS LINK to get these ideas, tips, and supportive ideas!
Are you a planner like we are? Are you already thinking about 8th grade promotion on Thursday, June 2nd 2016 beginning at 11? Please be sure that you have the FSUSD SCHOOL CALENDAR so that you know when everything is? Also, please remember that each 8th grader who is being promoted will be given FOUR TICKETS only. We cannot accommodate any more than this.

There will be a few changes to our lunch lines beginning today. All of our Ala cart items that are not very popular will be discontinued in order to reduce the choices and try to make the lines move faster. We will only be offering Ala cart items at the snack bar. Pizza and burgers will be offered at the cafeteria windows and the rest will be at the cart. We hope that this will increase the speed of our lines for our kids!
