Missing books/ lockers/ hallways

Middle school students have the responsibility of having lockers to store their books and school materials. Often they leave their books/ notebooks/ binders in the hallway. If your student is missing a book/ supplies, they may have been picked up by one of the staff members. They must make sure they speak to Mrs. Hernandez, Mrs. Ortiz or myself if they are missing any items. My policy is to charge students a dollar ($1) for each item they forget, we must remember that s will cost you $80+ to replace a lost textbook. If a student needs a certain book for a class they can make an arrangement with me to be able to use the book if they do not have the money to pay for it.

Study Habits

Preparing for assessments is a vital part of your academic careers. Assessments are given at every level of education and the results of these assessments are used to determine whether concepts have been mastered and used to help structure instruction of future concepts. It is the students’ responsibility to figure out what method of studying works best for them. Students should not wait until the day before to study for a chapter or unit assessment, studying must begin at least a week before the assessments. There are various forms of studying and there is no set method that works for everyone. It is the responsibility of the student to figure out which method works better for them so that they can be successful on assessments throughout their academic careers.
