From the MS Principal, Mrs. Atta:  

Important Items and Reminders:

➢    End-of-the-Year Student Behavior: There is sometimes a tendency for students to do things during the last days of the school year that they may not normally do. Serious infractions of school rules may result in the immediate suspension of the student for the remainder of the school year. The student will be given zeroes on any Final Exams for school days lost as a result and grades will be lowered accordingly.

    Remember the ABCs of the YESS System:

BeAttitude ABCs
You choose your…Attitude.
You choose your…Behavior.
You reap the results in Celebration or Consequence.
Your Choices build your Character.

➢    FLEX Classes: End on 5/28, Friday. Be sure that if you change into sports outfits you are actually going to a practice or game. The exception is on FT Friday, you may wear FT clothing. No bathing suits or short shorts – should be at uniform length also wear shoes for safety.
➢    H20:  Please remember to drink sufficient water each day. Staying hydrated and with sufficient sleep will help you to stay healthy and ready for the Final Exams and Standardized Tests coming up this week. The recommended water intake is to drink ½ of your body weight in fluid ounces. The water fountains are available and bring bottled water on your FT this Friday.
➢    Sanitize Hands: Use the dispensers all over school or vigorously wash your hands in running water for as long as it takes to sing Happy Birthday two times.
➢    Lost & Found: Pick up any lost items all will be gone by May 28th.

From Counselor, Ms. Okazaki:

Seventh and Eighth graders:  On Tuesday and Wednesday, June 1st and 2nd, you will be taking eight multiple-choice tests—verbal reasoning, vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing mechanics, writing concepts and skills, quantitative reasoning, and mathematics (part 1 and part 2).  You cannot study for these tests so please do not worry about THEM.  JUST get a good night’s sleep especially on Monday and Tuesday!

Eighth graders ONLY:  On Thursday, May 27, you will be taking the algebra 1 section of the CTP 4.  You will not need a calculator.

Bring (2) no. 2 lead pencils or mechanical pencils with HB leads; a good eraser; a calculator with the four basic functions (adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing); a free-reading book; and a watch to pace yourself (optional).  You will be able to use the calculator only on part 2 of the mathematics section, which you will take on WEDNESDAY; you can still solve the problems without a calculator.  Please do not buy a calculator just for the test!

From Geography Teacher, Mrs. Yorita:
Seventh graders need to return geography and science textbooks to their teacher by Tuesday.

From HS Librarian, Mrs. Huster:
MS students:  Please be sure to return all library books, Lit Circle books and resolve any library fines by Friday, May 28.  If you do not resolve all library issues by this Friday you may lose the privilege to attend the reward activity and/or receive demerits.
