Mid-year Charger Check

(6th and 8th grade only)

Next week we will be implementing a system to assist 6th and 8th grade students in keeping track of their Chromebook chargers. Beginning on Wednesday 1/17, Pride teachers will be providing students with a stickered number that will be placed on their Chromebook charger. The assigned student number will be recorded and used to help identify any lost or found chargers.

Please help us by reminding your student to bring their charger to school next week. Once next week has passed, if your student did not bring their charger, we will assume the charger is lost and a $25 charge will be placed on his/her student account until we are able to locate their charger. A new labeled charger can be purchased for $25 in the MS office.

Pride Class in 2018

Beginning this second semester, during Pride class, students will be using the following document to conference with their Pride teacher regarding their mission statement, personal and academic goals, grades, and action steps. Students will be checking their grades and working on any assignments or studying during this time as well.

During previous Pride classes, students have worked on developing measurable goals and a purposeful mission statement. Students and teachers will continue to have discussions about 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens during this time.
