Welcome to TEAM HURRICANE!
First off we want to THANK YOU – your children are extremely polite. The attitude seems
overall positive and everyone seems to want to get involved. We believe that students
will enjoy their middle school experience the most if they take the time to get involved
and join a club or two. Students should watch the morning announcements to ensure
that they don’t miss out on any opportunities.
We have started with our curriculum in all classes. Each week we will send home what
concepts were covered that week and what we are hoping to cover in the upcoming
week. For daily homework, you can find that on each teacher’s website.
Our team encourages the responsible use of technological devices in the classroom
such as ipads, ipods, laptops, etc for academic purposes. If you child has access to
such devices, please ensure that you complete the privately owned devices form on
the school website. If child found irresponsible or use without permission, the teacher
may remove device for the remainder of the day.
Please ensure to complete all other necessary eforms on our school website for
emergency purposes.
