Welcome Letter to Parents
Welcome to Strickland Seventh Grade. Middle School is a unique experience
designed to bridge the elementary and high school years. To make the transition
from 6th to 7th graders as smooth as possible, your child has been assigned five
academic teachers (as well as elective teachers) who work together to
coordinate the seventh grade year. We refer to this plan as Academic Teaming.
You should expect a progress report and a report card for each 9-weeks grade
reporting period. In addition you will have access to your child’s grades online.
Should you wish to schedule a conference or talk with one of us, you may leave a
voice mail at the numbers listed above or contact us via e-mail.
Our expectations are high. The learning environment for your child is a
combination of both home and school. We look forward to this joint venture.
Sincerely,
Seventh Grade Teachers

Ticket System
It is our hope that we do not have discipline problems. However, a ticket system will be
in place to reward the students that model good behavior. Each student will begin each
9-weeks with 30 tickets. Tickets will be used if the student needs to leave the room for
restroom, locker, etc. Tickets may also be taken for tardies, or inappropriate behavior in
the classroom or in the hall. Parents can easily monitor behavior each day by looking in
the student’s agenda each night. Reward parties will be planned each 9-weeks. If a
student has managed tickets well they will be able to use tickets to attend the rewards.

IDs
Dress Code
The entire ID card must be worn and
visible above the waist at all times
during the school day. Lanyards,
clips, or strings must be school
appropriate. IDs. may not be defaced
in any way. If defaced, the ID will be
taken up and the student must
purchase a new one.
The dress code will be enforced on our campus in an effort to minimize
distractions from learning. Our staff will hold students accountable for
school appropriate clothing. We encourage all students and parents to
read page 8 and 9 in the student agenda. It covers in great detail what is
appropriate and inappropriate for school.
See page 9 in the student agenda for
additional information regarding IDs.
