ed around 2 p.m. The staff at the junior high is committed to helping students stay on top of their assignments. The “I.C.U Program” has been implemented to help teachers help ALL students who are missing assignments. If a student has not turned in an assignment, then their name will be placed on a document for all teachers to go over. The extra 10 minutes in fifth period will be spent helping the students get the work done. It will also be used other times when a teacher has extra time to help. If a student seems to be on the list repeatedly, due to lack of effort, then that student will be assigned detention at 6:30 a.m. on Thursday morning. We do not believe in giving zeros. We want students to be successful and responsible. Parent teacher conferences will be held from 5-8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 7, and from 8-11 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 8. Pictures were given out to the students who purchased them. If you are
unhappy with yours, remake picture day will be Sept. 24. Lifetouch offers a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee, so be sure to put this date down, if this applies to you. Come support your favorite Eagle athlete! Football, softball and girls’ soccer is in full swing. The schedules will be printed in the newsletter and in the newspaper. A pep rally was held Tuesday to honor these fall sports and the athletes who participate! The cheerleaders showed their spirit by performing cheers, a hip-hop dance, and fun games to entertain the students and faculty, too! Homecoming week will be Sept. 27-30. We began selling homecoming Tshirts this week. The cost is $10 and all proceeds will go to Athletic program. Order forms will be available at lunch each day. Parents and family members are welcome to purchase one too. More will come later about specific dress up days and club representatives.
Joy McKinnon’s class read “Fix It Duck.” They are working on the sight words I, am, little, and a. Please practice these words at home. Congratulations to Susan Willis’s class for winning the hallway behavior award. I have been seeing some quiet first-graders in the hallway. Keep up the good work! Mrs. Susan’s class is learning about the life cycle of a frog in their science center and they are actually observing tadpoles in their classroom. Second-graders won the cafeteria behavior award for using good manners while eating lunch.
Congratulations! Third-graders are busy counting money and making change. Please practice these skills at home. They are also writing the four types of sentences: declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory. Their reading story for the week is “If You Made a Million.” PSO membership drive will be Sept. 7-24. The cost is $2 a member. Grandparents are invited to eat lunch with their grandchild(ren) for Grandparents’ Day on Sept. 15. Remember, Jacks Creek is “where students shine!”
