NORTH MIDDLE SCHOOL

• You are part of an excellent team combined of 7th
  and 8th graders. Our expectations of you will
  be high, both academically and behaviorally. The
  harder you work at these things, the more we will
  be able to add the extras, like outdoor
  activities and other team building events.

Supplies

• BE PREPARED! Each day you are to bring a pencil,
  textbook, agenda, free-reading book, and
  notebook.
• You will need a small set of colored pencils.
• You must carry your SSR Book to every class!

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT SSR . . .

• Studies have shown that students who read daily
  improve their standardized test scores, increase
  their bank of vocabulary words, and are better
  writers. Please keep the following in mind

6
1. Choose a book that interests you. Do not
grab a last-minute novel so you can avoid being
unprepared. Use 11th periods to choose books
Mrs. Sterling is a great resource for finding
something you will truly enjoy reading.
2. During 11th period, your job is to complete
homework, see any teachers you may need in order
to get caught up with your work, and attend
chorus, band, student council, sports
meetings/practice, etc. If you are caught up
with all of the above, your 11th period should be
spent with your SSR book! Homeroom is for quiet
study, completion of homework, and sustained
silent reading. Each homeroom teacher has
additional rules and procedures, so stay tuned!

• CLASS PROCEDURES
• Arrive to class on time. If you stay late with a
  teacher, be sure to have a pass.
• Be seated and write homework in your agenda if it
  is already posted in the classroom.
• When the teacher stands before you or calls your
  attention to begin, the room must be silent.
• Participate and ask questions when necessary.
  Your question might help others in the room.
• DO YOUR HOMEWORK homework can make boost your
  final grade. Homework provides practice and
  helps students succeed in mastering what is
  taught in the classroom. Do your own homework
  copying another students homework is cheating
  and you will be issued a zero.
