7th Grade & Schoolwide Updates
ACRMS is adopting a new tardy policy!
ACRMS Tardy Policy
Being on time for school and class is an important skill that sets students up for success. At Reynolds Middle School, we support our students to do things “The Rocket Way”, which means being ready, respectful, and responsible with words and actions. Being on time demonstrates they are responsible, ready for class, and respectful of others' time.
Tardy to School
Our school day begins at 7:45 am with all students in their homeroom class. All students should be in homeroom at 7:45 am when the bell rings. Our exterior doors are locked at 7:45 am when the school day begins. Students that arrive after 7:45 am should sign in at the office to obtain a pass to class. Students will need to provide a reason for arriving late so the tardy can be determined to be excused or unexcused. Repeated unexcused tardiness will result in consequences.
Consequences for unexcused tardiness to school:
Tardy 1-3 = Individual conference with student
Tardy 4-5= parent contact
Tardy 6-8 = parent contact and lunch detention (minor referrals written)
Tardy 9+ = major referrals written, parent contact and administrator assigns consequences
administrator consequences will begin with a class period of ISS assigned and increase in ISS time assigned if tardiness continues
Proof of residency will be required for excessive unexcused tardiness to school
Tardy to class
Students are expected to be on time for each class. Students that arrive late to class without a pass will be marked tardy unexcused by the teacher.
Repeated unexcused tardiness will result in consequences.
Consequences for tardiness:
Tardy 1= Individual teacher conference with student
Tardy 2= parent contact
Tardy 3 = parent contact and lunch detention (minor referrals written)
Tardy 4+ = major referrals written, administrator assigns consequences
administrator consequences will begin with a class period of ISS assigned and increase in ISS time assigned if tardiness continues
Parents and guardians, please talk with your student about the importance of being kind. We have seen an increase in unkind words and actions.
Spring sports games: Check our school website for a schedule.
Next Community Night: March 10 in the cafeteria from 5:00-6:30pm

Students took their Unit 4 Unit Test today (expressions and equations). Students were given two full class periods to complete the assessment. Test corrections are posted in Delta Math and students can complete that by 3/20 for 50% credit back.
Unit 5 starts next week and is a quick one about circles! After that we have 3 more: Percentages, Probability and Statistics and findally Special Topics in Geometry.
Ms. Perry: Our 7th graders have been diving into the history of the Spanish-American War! Students explored the causes that led the United States into the conflict, learned about major battles, and discussed how the war changed America’s role in the world. They also examined the debate over imperialism and considered different viewpoints from the time. It’s been great to see students asking thoughtful questions and making connections as we continue exploring this important moment in history!
Ms. Osmunson: Students began learning about the age of imperialism. Talk to your students about what imperialism means!
Will we contine this week with unit 3 this 360 Unit is anchored around the novel The Giver by Lois Lowry (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 1993 edition). Students will read The Giver, the dystopian story of a 12-year-old boy who comes to realize his seemingly idyllic existence actually lacks freedom and love. Students will practice analyzing the interactions between text elements and how the setting shapes both character development and plot. To help students further engage with the themes of the unit, they will discuss the author’s message about rules and expectations in a society and their opinions about those rules. Students will read and respond to each chapter. They will have a quiz about every 3 chapters.
What to expect this week:
Chapter Quizzes
Narrative Writing Guided Practice

Happy New Year!
Prior to the break, the seventh graders did a pre-project on the Olympics by creating a mascot for the 2028 Olympic games in LA. We are continuing our Olympics unit this week by looking at how height and speed are related in sprinting. The students will do math to determine the relationship between speed and height, and discuss issues of fairness in sports.
