Our current focus needs to be on our 8th graders successfully completing their EOGs and their 8th grade year. Please help us maintain a school atmosphere where these goals are the priority. Policing for dress code compliance at school takes up valuable time. Thanks for supporting our goals! Due to theft taking place in the school, our administration has decided to have ladies place their purses and gentleman their bags into their locked lockers. They can pick them up if they need them before they go to the bathroom, and return them afterward. Since purses were many of the items stolen, this should help eliminate this problem. As far as jackets, the students are allowed to wear hoodies, sweatshirts, or sweaters, but no jackets with a lining. This is because some students bring big heavy jackets into the classroom, and they can be distracting and take up a lot of room. Please make sure we have a list of any updated information we may need for our records. Please share this information with other Panther parents if they are not on our e-mail list. INDIVIDUAL CLASS WEBSITES Check the individual core subject pages for updates on class tests, projects, quizzes, and etc. AGENDAS Students should write all of their assignments down in their agendas. Each core class places their homework assignments on the board. The students are responsible for updating their agendas daily. Please check your child's agenda daily for homework assignments or to see what assignments or projects are upcoming. ABSENCES It is vital for your child to be at school. If your son/daughter is out sick, please send a note to school upon their return. It is the students responsibility to get and make up all work that was missed.
