Reminders

⏰ Punctuality Reminder

We’ve noticed an increase in students arriving late to advisory. Just like in your classes, the expectation is to be seated before advisory starts at 10:15. Students with excessive tardies have started to lose privileges like recess. Let’s all work together to be on time!

Recess Reminders ⚽🏀

THANK YOU for returning the balls immediately when the whistles blow. Mr. Nugent is hungry and wants to go to lunch!
Pull-up bars are off limits
Bathrooms outside are off limits. Students should use the bathrooms in the MS.
Students are now welcome to use the MS Commons (steps and open space only) during recess time to work, relax, or play ping pong, board games, or the piano.
Students are not allowed to be upstairs in the MS, including the bathrooms, or behind the steps.

Taking Care of our MS 🧹

Clean up after yourselves, especially during snack time, with crumbs and wrappers. If you see something on the floor, pick it up, even if it’s not yours.
Push in chairs in our common spaces.
