Our plans for the week are below-remember these are tentative depending on how the week goes! Also, our 8^thgrade math department decided that this quarter if your child misses weekly homework 2 or more times, they will be assigned before school detention for not being ready and prepared for class. Last nine weeks, a majority of students completed homework without any issues. This is great! We want students to be able to work on assignments and come to class prepared with materials. As always, please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Report cards will go home tomorrow with students, 8th grade does not do the signature cards like other grade levels, so make sure to ask your sweet to see the report card. Homework is due Wednesday this week.  Friday, I was out for STEM competitions and was disappointed to return to a note from the substitute teacher about the behavior of the class. This is unacceptable and I know that the students are capable of much more. We reviewed the expectations in class but please remind students of the importance of being responsible and respectful at all times.  I explained to students that they are a representative of themselves, loved ones, teachers, and school and should have the upmost respect from themselves. They really are a great bunch of young adults and I enjoy them daily.

A message from BARTLETT CITY SCHOOLS

Parents,

On Monday, August 21, 2017, the moon will pass between the earth and the sun for the first coast-to-coast total solar eclipse since 1918.  Millions of Americans in 12 states will be able to watch this solar spectacle that will turn day into night for a couple of minutes.  Tennessee is among the 12 states that have been declared to be the best place to experience this rare phenomenon.

Bartlett City Schools is planning for its students to participate in this event.  BCS has purchased and will supply solar eclipse viewing glasses for students.  Permission slips will be coming home next week. Parents of students in grades K-8 must sign and return all forms no later than Thursday, August 17, 2017.  If your student is in grades 9-12 you will only need to send a form back if you DO NOT want your child to participate.

• It is the responsibility of each student to turn in make-up work… I will not ask for it.

Zero and Late Work Policy:

• If a student does not complete an assignment, a zero will be assigned, please check power school regularly. All papers must have a name on them to be graded. Late work will be accepted but it is -10 points for each day late. After 5 days, a 50 can be earned if the work is completed and correct.
