Homework Hotline and Teacher Voice Mail
All teachers have their own phone number. Call for homework or to leave a message. Teachers will respond in a timely fashion. If your child is absent from school, you can get the most current assignment at this number.
Master Notebook
All 6th, 7th and 8th grade students are expected to have a three ring binder type notebook. The best size for the notebook is a minimum of 2 inches (2 ½ inches is best and 3 inches may prove to be too large). The notebook should be divided into six sections, with white lined paper in each section. Some notebooks come with accommodations for writing utensil and a calculator. There is no need to purchase more than one notebook for your student.
Agenda Books
All students are given an agenda book. This book should be kept in the student’s Master Notebook. Homework assignments are written in the Agenda Book and many parents communicate with teachers through the Agenda Book. Parents may verify assignments using the homework hotline.
Progress Reports
All students are issued progress reports at mid-term.
Student Improvement Plans
At any point, after the mid-term reports are issued, that a student has his/her average fall below a C-, an improvement plan will be issued. The plan informs the student of the grade, reasons for the grade, and what must be done to improve the grade.
Report Cards
The Middle School has four terms. Each term is 45 days in length. Report cards are issued within 10 days of the close of a term.
Late Night
Each teacher has one late night per week. Monday – Thursday are the nights that may be scheduled for extra help or detention.
