Did you know that we provide options during lunches for all students? Now that the weather has turned colder, the Junior High does not go outside until the weather breaks. We are now offering a Quiet Lunch in Room 15. In quiet lunch we play a movie for students to enjoy with their friends with low lights. Students are welcome to eat their lunch while enjoying a quieter and calmer environment.

The JH also now has a game cart available for students to check out games to play with their friends during lunch. If you have games at home that are just taking up shelf space, we would love to add to the cart! Bring your game donations to the front office, our kids love the variety of games.

The Junior High provides After School Study Hall on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Study hall runs from 3:05 (after dismissal) to 4:05.

Students must have their own transportation home at 4:05. No sign up or fees required. Students can come as often as they need. Students are provided with a quiet space with reliable internet to work on homework with a certified teacher to assist.

In our RTI classes students focus on learning skills that will allow them to manage the middle school grades. Last week our classes completed Unit 1 on Mindset and Goals and they are now moving on to Unit 2 that will discuss being able to recognize bullying and harassment.
