Jr. High students, at recess, you are required to line up in your homeroom line before entering the building from now on. You are getting too rowdy and someone is bound to get hurt when you are coming in. Please follow those directions.

As you go outside for recess or come inside from recess, you need to remember that you are passing by classrooms that are in session. The noise is distracting and not necessary. You need to settle down and be quiet as you walk through the halls.

Jr. High Students: Please remember that if you want pizza at the dance on Friday, you need to have your money turned in by Wednesday. If you are on the ineligibility list for this week, you are not able to attend the dance. That is part of the rules.
