8th GRADE NEWS

 

Vernal Equinox is less than a month away! We are not far away from those glorious springtime days!

  

Congratulations to all 8th grade students on receiving their high school acceptance letters! Hard work has a way of paying off!

 

Yearbook preparations are under way. We have been feverishly collecting our pictures and ideas for that ultimate 8th grade project. We've finished the heart projects and they are on display in the upstairs hall.

 

At this time of year it is common for 8th graders to experience "senior slide". This consists of an increase in tardiness and absenteeism, as well as a downward spiral of grades and behavior. Kindly remind your children about the importance of continuing to take their academic career seriously. Whatever they do from now until the end of the year is reflected in the final transcripts sent to their prospective high schools. The schools have the right to reject any student who is not performing to the level of their expectations.

 

A letter went home about the graduation fee that is due on Friday, April 9th.  Any questions can be directed to me via email or to the office.
