New system- PowerSchool will now provide email, phone and text message communications.

Responsibility Part of being a middle school student is to take more responsibility. We DO NOT accept deliveries of any kind for students. This includes lunch, homework, PE clothes, money, balloons, etc.

Provide a quiet place for your child to complete homework. There is homework nightly. We will be sharing our Homework plan soon.

Parent partnership/involvement Be involved! It’s what makes Price such a super school for everyone! The more you give the more you get out of the experience as a parent.

If you are interested in helping out in the classroom, please contact your student’s teacher directly. Help is also needed in the office, for yard duty and during school events.

We have a very active Home & School club, School Site Council and English Language Advisory Council. (See communications for dates.)

STUDENTS

Communication Let your teachers know if you do not understand the assignment or lesson, have further questions, or if you need to see them after school. Many teachers work with students regularly before or after school.

Homework is posted online via teacher websites, or on PowerSchool. Students should write their homework assignments in the agenda, which must be carried daily.

Responsibility Follow all Price rules – see Student Handbook. Cell phones are not allowed to be used (includes

texting) or powered on while on campus. The phone may not be on your person and must be off and placed in your backpack during the school day. There is an automatic confiscation of the phone and Saturday School for violations. (Some teachers may allow use for educational purposes and field trips.)

Be organized. Handbooks must be carried daily. Use it to keep track of homework/projects, activities, special bell schedule, etc.
