You can begin to schedule PHYSICALS (including VISION and HEARING EXAMS) and at that time receive the required TDap VACCINE
DENTAL EXAMS are also required for all 7th grade students
We highly recommend that the physicals, immunizations, and dental exams be completed as soon as possible and turned in as soon as possible. Students who are not compliant with immunizations on the first day of school are subject to exclusion.

Students in Computer Science 7 are engaged in the Web Development Unit. During this unit, students are taught about HTML and CSS coding in order to build a website on code.org. Students have autonomy to choose the topic of their website and are asked to code headings, subheadings, images, lists, and links. In the end, student should include all of those items onto two linked web pages.

English 7: We are finishing up our novel, Ghost, next week and will move on to our personal narrative DCA. This will be your student’s summative writing grade for the quarter so it is really important that they put their best effort into it.
English 7D: After we finish Chinese Cinderella, this class will also move into narrative writing. We are focusing more on the plot chart for our storytelling this year as opposed years past (exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.)
I am excited to read the narratives about their lives! Please check Synergy routinely with your student and encourage them to hand in any missing assignments, and I also allow most past assignments in the quarter to be redone to get a better grade.
Thanks! Jill Rischling rrischli@lps.org
