When can we socialize with friends?

Each morning before the 8:00 homeroom bell rings you are free 
to "visit" other track 1 homerooms, but must stay out of the 
hallways and inside the classrooms. At 8:00 you must return to 
your assigned homeroom for attendance, announcements, homeroom 
and encore.   During lunch, we sit by track but you can sit with 
anyone on our team.

Do the 8th grade teachers really enforce the dress code?

We sure do! Maybe more strictly than any other grade level! 
Straps on shirts must be 3 fingers wide, skirts, dresses and 
shorts must come to the tip of your middle finger, no underwear 
may be visible. Also, sagging pants, bare middles, very low cut 
tops, razor back shirts and inappropriate symbols or messages on 
clothing of any kind are not permitted. If you're not sure if a 
piece of clothing will be acceptable, please ask first and wear 
something else that day!

WHY SHOULD MY PARENTS PARTICIPATE IN THE PTA FUNDRAISERS?

The 8th grade PTA end of year celebration is funded through our yearly PTA
fundraising activity. The 8th grade celebration can only be planned if enough
money is made on the fundraiser. Please support whatever fundraising efforts
our PTA sponsors so your 8th grader will have a wonderful send off at the end
of the year. Thanks.
