As we head into the last week of school, it's important for all of us to keep the same focus, expectations, and energy level as the very first week of school. With well-planned, culminating lessons and activities, it is so much easier to get our students to be motivated and engaged right up until dismissal on Thursday. It's always a great lesson and strategy to show the student the growth they've made over the course of the year. If you have some writing samples or pieces of work from the beginning of the year to share, and compare it to their abilities now...we can reinforce what hard work can do for you. Thank you in advance for your efforts to maintain a strong culture right up till the end.

Grades
This is a reminder to make sure grades in each standard are up to date. This includes the at least the Puma Pride standard "Follows Classroom Expectations". We will look to print report cards starting on Monday, June 10. If you need to finish them up on Friday or over the weekend, no worries at all.
Assembly Tuesday
We will have our End of the Year Assembly on Tuesday. On this day, students will report to 3rd block right away after lunch. We'll then dismiss students to the gym at 2:15 for our Assembly. We'll have our 3 winning Homeroom groups from last Thursday's battles square off for the right to claim the Carelli Cup. We'll have our student recognition, like we discussed at our Staff Meeting (see document that Julie shared), and we'll send off our 8th graders. Should be a memorable event for the kids.
8th Graders Last Day Plan
Our 8th graders will have their normal electives on Wednesday morning, and then head out for their field trip. Their final Dance will take place from 6:30 to 8:30...all staff members are invited to attend with the 8th grade teachers to help them celebrate a Middle School career that is in the books. There will be no 8th Grade classes on Thursday.
Last Day Schedule
We will run a modified schedule for the last day of school. You can view that SCHEDULE HERE.
End of Year All Staff Celebration
Once the students are dismissed and out the door on the last day (6/6), we will gather as a whole staff around 1:00 in the High School cafeteria. We'll have pizza, and other food options for everyone, and have a brief recognition ceremony. Check-out procedures will start right after we wrap up our celebration.
Upcoming Events
Sunday - June 2 - PHS Graduation
Tuesday - June 4 - Assembly - 2:15 pm - Final Carelli Cup Homeroom Competitions - Student Recognition
Wednesday - June 5 - 8th Grade Field Trip/Dance (6:30 - 8:30)
