What Else Should I Know?
Attendance: Daily attendance is extremely important. If class is missed, it is the responsibility of the student to follow the appropriate procedures to obtain missing work.
Lockers: Each student will receive a locker. Due to the number of students, it is sometimes necessary for them to share a locker with a friend in the same homeroom. We will beginassigning lockers on the second day of school to those students who have completed and returned all necessary paperwork. No need to purchase a lock; they come with locks in place.
Book bags: Middle school students are not allowed to carry book bags during the school day.
Book bags must be left in the student’s locker, and this includes the thin, nylon book bags. Students will have locker breaks to access their materials throughout the day. Please do not bring the roller type book bags because they do not fit in the lockers!
ConnectionClasses: 5th and 6th periods
Tardies: Students arriving after 8:45 a.m. are considered tardy and must check in at the front office.
Breakfast: $1.15
Lunch: Students $2.30 Visitors $3.25

Personal technology (which includes laptops and tablets, and sometimes cell phones) will be used on a regular basis in all academic classes. Teachers will advise students ahead of time when technology is needed so they can be prepared for class on the assigned day.
Homework

Snacks
Students will have the opportunity to purchase healthy snacks and water at the end of 4th period. Every item will be $.50.
Good Communication Is Essential for Success!
The following tools will be used to keep students and parents informed:
Agendas: UGMS will NOT be providing students with agendas, but PTO will be selling them. Students are strongly encouraged to use a personal agenda to record homework assignments, extra-curricular activities, and important dates/reminders on a daily basis. Agendas can help students learn to manage their time by helping them to prioritize, plan, and pace their tasks. Ultimately, it serves as a communication tool between home and school!
Team Newsletter: Parents will receive newsletters periodically via e-mail which will highlight the activities and outline important upcoming events in the four academic subjects, as well as other school happenings.
Infinite Campus: Check Infinite Campus for current grades. Your child’s grades will be updated at least every two weeks.
E-Mail: The quickest way to reach us is by e-mail. Please refer to email addresses provided in this brochure.
Edmodo: All students will set up an Edmodo account here at school. It will serve as both a learning and communication tool.
Fieldtrips: Information will be given at a later date.
