The Middle Update 10/27/18
Resource of the Week
As we head into the last week of the 1st quarter and straight into November, in many cases and with some of our students, it is clear that the honeymoon period is over. Old habits and frustrating personality traits can come to the surface and provide some challenges for us in the classroom. The article this week shines light on the best approach to rude, disrespectful student attitudes. This is one article/podcast that we will likely revisit during the school year.
"How to Respond to Rude, Disrespectful, Student Attitudes" an interview with Robyn Jackson

Student of the Month Breakfast
Our Student of the Month Breakfast is scheduled for this Thursday, November 1st at 7:00 am in the IMC. We are excited to recognize 8 of our outstanding students that have stood out for their work and effort in the 1st quarter so far. If you see any of the following students, feel free to congratulate them.

Thanks to Mrs. Rogness, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Odden, and Mrs. Anderson for presenting this month!
October Safety Drill (contribution from Mr. Hausser)
We have to do a drill every month. This month(October) we are going to do a fire and practice an evacuation drill to the high school. The fire alarm will sound and then please follow our fire drill procedures. Once outside, Dr. Pritzl and I will signal to the groups when they should then evacuate to the high school. When choosing a route to get there, please keep in mind that we want to stay a safe distance away from the building that has been determined unsafe. The elementary staff and students will report to the Kerr gym and all middle school students will go to the Aux. gym in the high school. Please take attendance once the students are outside, and then also when you get to the high school. We are planning this drill for Tuesday morning around 9:15 a.m., but it will be weather depending.
Referendum Update
We are a week and a half away from the vote. As a reminder, the website is a great resource to find all of the information regarding the process used to determine the referendum questions.
Important Dates Coming Up
-Veteran's Day Assembly - Friday, 11/9 around 9:00 in the Kerr Gym (specific details will be sent next blog post)
-Next Middle School Staff meeting will be on Wednesday, November 14th at 2:50 in Mrs. Rogness' Room
-Early Release at 1:15 on November 21st before Thanksgiving Break
