The following is in your student handbook:
Shorts, skirts and dresses must be lower

shorts, skirts, pants and dresses above this

It doesn’t matter if you have tights or shorts
underneath your pants/jeans to cover up the

It also doesn’t matter if the holes have
patches inside the pants/jeans.
If you are not following dress code, you will
be written up by teachers/administrators.
The consequences for a dress code violation:

If the problem continues, the consequences will

Students are NOT allowed to stay after school
and hang out in the halls or library. The only
reason you should be staying after school
would be for tutoring, weightlifting or
practice. If you stay for tutoring you must be
in stay in that classroom until 4:00 (NO
EXCEPTIONS). If you stay for weight lifting
you must be in the weight room by 3:20 and do
not leave until everyone is done lifting. If you
are caught hanging out in the halls or library
after 3:20 you will be written up. If you don’t
have a legitimate excuse for being in the hall
after 3:20, you risk being written up.

Assignments/Tests
7th Grade Pre-Algebra (Mrs. Kesel)
7th Grade English (Mrs. Bish)
Students just completed work on the Chapter
9 Test; they should have the results today. Be
sure to ask! We will spend the rest of the year
picking and choosing topics to prepare for next
year’s Algebra class. Please remind your
students that they need to keep working hard
right up until the end of the school year. Make
sure to get all of their assignments turned in
on time to get the maximum points possible.
Thanks for all your help!
The seventh graders are reading Island of
the Blue Dolphins and participating in
“Survivor Challenges.” This is the story of
Karana, an Indian girl who lived alone on an
island similar to San Nicholas Island off the
coast of California. She kept herself alive by
building shelter, making weapons, finding
food, and fighting wild dogs. The students
seem to be really enjoying this book. The end
of the year final will be over Island of the Blue
Dolphins and the various literary techniques
that we’ve studied this year.
8th Grade Pre-Algebra (Mrs. Kesel)
Students recently completed work on our
Geometry Chapter. Test scores were not as
good as I would have liked, so we spent some
time correcting the tests and earning back
some of the points missed. Our new chapter is
Probability, and we will try to squeeze in a
little on Linear Functions before the end of the
year. Remind your students to keep getting
that homework turned in on time! Thanks for
your help!
8th Grade English (Mrs. Bish)
The eighth graders will finish The Cay as
our last unit for the year. It is a “coming of
age” book in which a young boy is stranded on
a Caribbean island during World War II. We
are completing a reading guide and a
figurative language log, taking quizzes, and
discussing the main elements and ideas of the
novel. The vocabulary/spelling words are
taken from this novel as well. The end of the
year final will cover what we have studied this
year as exemplified in the novel.
Each eighth grader should have an
April/May calendar that indicates what we are
doing each day and when we are having a quiz
over certain chapters. Hopefully, this will help
make things less hectic as the academic year
draws to a close.
I hope to see you at the Jr. High Award
Program and 8th Grade Promotion!
7th Grade English (Ms. Cassmeyer)
This week the 1st hour 7th grade English class
is completing their final week of spelling
activities! The rest of our three weeks of the
school year we will focus on finishing up the
novel Island of the Blue Dolphins, competing in
various learning “challenges”/activities, and
preparing for our final exam over the novel.
Because we are first hour, we will take our
final exam on Tuesday, May 17th. We will
complete several review sheets and play a
“Survivor” Brainquest Bullseye Review game
so that we can have some fun while getting
ready for our final. It’ been a fantastic year
and the students have worked diligently! Let’s
keep up the effort for our last three weeks!
