Junior High Welcome Back/Reopening Letters

August 31, 2020


Greetings, Junior High families!  Below are some friendly reminders for your child and their respective program.  Please read/review at your earliest convenience.  

 

Yours, Mike Minnick


September 1:  Our 6th Grade Orientation is tomorrow!  Those students whose last names begin with the letters A - L, will attend the morning program which begins at 9:00 AM.  Those students whose last names begin with the letters M - Z, will attend our 1:00 PM program. Please note that this program is for students only. Everyone enters and exits through the main entrance on 5th Street.  We expect the program to last about 2 hours, so please plan your pick-up arrangements with your child accordingly.  Thank you so much for your patience throughout this process!


September 2: Chromebook Distribution for all synchronous, asynchronous (i.e. IDEAL Cyber), or 7th - 8th grade Hybrid learners whose last names begin with the letters M - Z are to come to the Gym Entrance of the Junior High School to collect your child’s Chromebook on September 2nd.  From 8:00 - 3:30, parents/guardians will enter our main parking lot from 4th Street onto Shyrock Ave and from there, proceed to the Gym Entrance.  That location is marked by the red awning and door #9.  

  1. Drive your car alongside the Gym Entrance.
  2. State your child’s name and grade.
  3. Faculty/staff will retrieve your child’s Chromebook and hand it to you in your car.

** If you have a Chromebook from last school year please return and we will replace it with a new one.
