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 three week progress report and a report card for each
6-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

allowed in the classrooms.
Attendance
Each student will have a locker for his/her own use. Students should not trade or share
lockers with other students and every attempt should be made to keep the locker neat.
Lockers will be assigned randomly to students by Ms. Singleton.
It is important to be in class every day. While
work may be made up for absences, it is
impossible to make up the learning
opportunities that are missed. Students are
responsible for work missed due to an
absence from class. Each core teacher will
have a procedure for students to follow to
obtain any missed assignments.
Ticket System
Additional Ticket
Information
Lockers
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
6-weeks with 24 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 6-weeks. If a
student has managed tickets well they will be able to use tickets to attend the rewards.
