8th Grade Meeting

On Monday during Team Time, we will meet with all 8th graders to highlight end-of-year 8th grade activities and the eligibility requirements under 3-2-1.  We are still confirming the details on these events, but here is what we know so far:

• Yearbook Signing Party
• 8th grade Dance, Tuesday, May 23rd
• Schlitterbahn, Wednesday, May 24th
• Promotion Ceremony, Thursday, May 25th, Butler Stadium Fieldhouse at 12:00 p.m.

What is 3-2-1?

3   school wide detentions

2   in-school suspensions

1   out of school suspension

Whenever any one of these criteria is met, the student is excluded from all end-of-year activities.

Examples: 

·       walking at promotion

·       the 8th grade dance

·       Schlitterbahn

·       yearbook signing party

·       All eighth grade activities, whether during school hours or not

3-2-1 Starts Now!  

No prior discipline history is considered under 3-2-1.
