Hoodies Are Against the Dress Code

Students have been wearing hoodies to school and testing the boundaries with them. Hoodies are against the dress code. When teachers talk to students about being out of dress code they claim they do not have any other jackets or warm clothes to wear to school. We ask that you help us with this endeavor by not sending your students to school wearing a hoodie. If they wear a hoodie they will receive a dress code violation and parents will have to pick up the hoodie from the office after school. If your student truly does not own any other piece of warm clothing, please let their Advisor know how they can help support you in obtaining a warm piece of clothing that is within the dress code.

 

Pop Culture T-shirts and T-shirts are also against the dress code. Students should wear a Collared Shirt to be in dress code. If students do not wear a Collared Shirt they will receive a dress code violation and will have to call home for a change of clothes. Some students are wearing Pop Culture T-shirts under a collared jacket; this is against dress code. They may wear a T-shirt under a collard shirt as long as it is buttoned up all day.

December 21, Last Day to Turn in Work

Friday December 21st is the last day of school before Winter Break. It is also the last day to turn in work and reassess for all Jr High Classes. There will not be any exceptions to this date for any of your classes.

 

Check CANVAS and Talk to Your Teachers to find out what your current assessments are and if you are missing work or exams.

 

There are 10 working school days to accomplish all of the work and reassessments you need to do. Use your Planner to help you prioritize, plan your homework and schedule your daily activities around the many things you may need to accomplish.

 

If you do not have a Planner (or can not find your Planner) you will need to purchase one from the office or purchase one from a store. All students are required to have and use a Planner; you are graded in Advisory for using your Planner. Using a Planner is a life skill that will help you organize the many responsibilities in your life now and in the future. Please ask your Advisor for advice on how to best utilize your Planner. You should not only be writing when assignments and projects are due, you should be using it to plan when you will do the actual work for the assignment and project.

Intersession

Twice a year the regular curriculum pauses for Intersession. This is a one-week period that provides our students an opportunity to try new interests and learn new skills. We travel near and far exploring and developing passions; we may stay in our school, the mountains, or our local community. Our students welcome an interlude from daily academics and look forward to Intersession because it gives them a chance to discover interests they didn’t know they had and interact with one another and their community in new and different ways. During our travels students have a hands-on opportunity to engage in place-based education. They are able to expand their interests and studies in experiential education, problem-solving skills, and community service. Some Intersession classes are offered year after year while others are newly designed to meet student’s interests.

 

Intersession October 22nd – 26th 2018
