7TH GRADE MEETING
1/6/15
•Expectations for the rest of the year
•Transitioning to 8th grade
Lockers & Outside Behavior When you leave class you should go right to
your locker and get your materials for the next classes- do not spend your time socializing
Lockers are a privilege that can be taken away All school rules apply during the ENTIRE
school day- in the classroom, hallway, lunch, recess, etc.
After school behavior (yes, that includes the blacktop) should still be appropriate including language
Lateness
Time between classes should be no more than a few minutes.
When you are late to class you are losing valuable learning time.
If you come to class after it has begun you must have a pass.
After lunch, you must be in the classroom by 12:45, no later.
New Late Work Policy
Assignments reflect the work we are doing in school- late work loses meaning
No stories, no excuses, no “But I did it…” If the work is not in school, it is considered not done
Being absent does not excuse you from work
Bottom line- no late work
Extra Help When you are absent, miss class, or just
simply do not feel like you understand something fully… get extra help
Teachers make time before and after school to help
Speak to the specific teacher and set up a day and time
Show up! Do not say you are coming and then “forget”
Extra help is not a replacement for Homework Club
Homework Club There are many supports in place for you,
including Homework Club If you are in Homework Club, use the time
for homework, not games or socializing Homework does include projects and
typing. Use that time to get those poems and presentations done!
Access to technology. . .
no reason to not have things printed or typed
Nurse Going to the nurse is reserved for
serious illness only. No one may go to the nurse without a
pass from a teacher-this includes going between periods and before/after lunch.
If you go home due to illness, you should try to get your work before leaving.
Planning & Work Quality
Put time and effort into your work EDIT, EDIT, EDIT!! Have a friend or family member check
work Check the rubric. It is a road map to
success! Remember your audience. Do you want
to be bored?
Field Trips
Field trips are being planned for the coming months
Participation is dependent upon several factors
Field trips are rewarding learning experiences (and fun too!)
You don’t want to miss them!
Transitions You are halfway through 7th grade. . . That means you are very close to being
in 8th grade and then high school! NOW is the time to start forming good
habits that will help you be successful! If you are failing, there are
consequences. It’s a new year, make it a
fresh start!
