NORTH MIDDLE SCHOOL

You are part of an excellent team combined of 7th and 8th graders. Our expectations of you will be high, both academically and behaviorally. The harder you work at these things, the more we will be able to add the extras, like outdoor activities and other team building events.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT SSR . . .• Studies have shown that students

who read daily improve their standardized test scores, increase their bank of vocabulary words, and are better writers. Please keep the following in mind:

1. Choose a book that interests you. Do not grab a “last-minute” novel so you can avoid being unprepared. Use 11th periods to choose books – Mrs. Sterling is a great resource for finding something you will truly enjoy reading.

2. During 11th period, your job is to complete homework, see any teachers you may need in order to get caught up with your work, and attend chorus, band, student council, sports meetings/practice, etc. If you are caught up with all of the above, your 11th period should be spent with your SSR book! Homeroom is for quiet study, completion of homework, and sustained silent reading. Each homeroom teacher has additional rules and procedures, so stay tuned!

CLASS PROCEDURES:

1. Arrive to class on time. If you stay late with a teacher, be sure to have a pass.

2. Be seated and write homework in your agenda if it is already posted in the classroom.

3. When the teacher stands before you or calls your attention to begin, the room must be silent.

4. Participate and ask questions when necessary. Your question might help others in the room.

5. DO YOUR HOMEWORK – homework can make boost your final grade. Homework provides practice and helps students succeed in mastering what is taught in the classroom. Do your own homework – copying another student’s homework is cheating and you will be issued a zero.

LOCKERS

• Do not share your locker or your combination with others.• Limit locker visits to AM Homeroom,

Lunchtime, PM Homeroom.• If you are still having difficulty

opening your locker, see your homeroom teacher.
