FROM MR. OSTASH

STUDENTS :

Once you arrive to our campus before school starts, it is a violation of school policy to leave for any reason.  You may not leave the campus in the morning.  Repeat offenders will be sent home on suspension.

FROM MS. KAUFMAN:

STUDENTS :

Welcome to the first full week of March. I hope all 8 th graders enjoyed having the engineers in their science classroom. If you are planning on using your tardy tickets, your teacher's signature and your name & signature must be on the ticket – in ink. Also, if you are assigned to a lunch time detention, you may choose to bring your own brown bag lunch or purchase a brown bag lunch from the cafeteria. Any other foods will NOT be allowed in the detention room. Please remember to value student differences and treat others with respect. Work hard and have an astounding week! “The people who have confidence in themselves gain the confidence of others.” Hasidic Saying ...... Go Tigers!!

 

 

FROM MS. GRAVES:

STUDENTS:

The end of the 3rd quarter is less than three weeks away. Be sure to keep track of due dates for your assignments and long term projects. Also make note of the dates of any tests scheduled before the end of the grading period. Avoid last minute panic by scheduling time each night for working on projects and studying for tests. Use the next couple of weeks to spread out the project tasks and study for tests a little bit each night.

Don't leave everything for the night before!

 

 

8 th graders will be getting their BHS Course Catalog and instructions on Friday in Science class .

 

Attention ALL!!! The 7 th grade writing exam is taking place on Tuesday, March 4th in the 7 th grade English classes. The quad will be OFF LIMITS 5 th and 6 th period. Thank you for your cooperation!

I hope you all have an amazing super fabulous week!

 

 

FROM MS. DOUGLAS:

STUDENTS:
Work to achieve your goals and remember: Life is hard by the yard, but a cinch by the inch.

WEEKLY ATTENDANCE CONTEST WINNERS:

This week, our 7 th graders are still making me smile. Congratulations to our 7 th grade tigers for having the best attendance last week. Teachers, please dismiss your 7 th graders 5 minutes early for lunch today only. Please make sure that students are dismissed for their proper lunch time. No bells will ring. Each and every one of you makes a difference each and every day. Be sure to continue to come to school and stay focused on your education. What are you doing to get to school every day???
