We have had a wonderful week getting to know your students! They have done a FIN-tastic job of adjusting to life as a middle schooler and as a 7-O Shark! Thank you all for entrusting them to us. In the coming weeks, will be spending more time building relationships, letting them know expectations for classes, and learning more about each student. Please know that we are happy to answer questions and address concerns; our contact information can be found here.
Each week, we will try to provide you with a brief recap of the past week’s highlights and foreshadow what may be coming up. This will go out as an email using the messenger feature of Infinite Campus.
Speaking of our blog, you can check it out at http://oms7-osharks.blogspot.com/. We plan to use this as the place we post homework daily, pictures periodically and any messages/information that we want to get out to you.
Students got a lot of information about team policies, etc this week. We will continue to teach expectations and discuss how things work on 7-O in the next few weeks. There will be handouts coming home with them and some will need to be returned. One of them, the parent information sheet, went home in Geography class. We ask that parents/guardians take a few minutes to tell us about your student. The sheet is double sided so that we can get more than one perspective on a child. If you need additional sheets, we can email or send them home. Thanks for your help in getting to know our students!
