Attention 7th & 8th grade students: Night school began last night for required students. Night school is for students who, during the previous trimester, had more than one grade below a C- and are missing homework assignments in their current trimester classes.
Should your grades fall blow this average or homework completion problems occur, you may be required to attend night school. Night school runs from 2-5 on Thursday & Friday nights with qualified tutors and the principal and vice principal working with students.
Midterm has just passed and it is a good time to reflect on the beginning of the trimester and see what you can do as a student to improve your grades or maintain them if they are already strong. Remember, effective effort--doing the daily work and learning from our successes and mistakes is the key to getting smarter and moving ahead in your grade. No student is off the hook for expected work and night school is required if grades are not where they should be.
