General 7th grade information Buy a dress down day on Tuesday! Students can buy a dress down day on Tuesday with the stamps they have collected on the yellow pages in their agenda. The price depends on how many discipline signatures they have on their white discipline pages: 0-1 signatures on their white discipline pages = 5 stamps to purchase 2-3 signatures on their white discipline pages = 10 stamps to purchase 4-5 signatures on their white discipline pages = 20 stamps to purchase Students who have lost their 1st quarter white discipline page cannot purchase anything with the stamps on their yellow pages until next quarter or they buy a new white discipline page (price to be determined, perhaps 50 stamps to purchase).

General 7th grade information It's MOVING TIME! No school on August 23 and 26! Have you seen the new school? Someone called it the Taj Ma"hil" and then someone else called it the Panther Palace. Do you have another good name for it? Have your student stop by and tell Mr. Hussain your creative name during homeroom on Monday for a signature on their yellow page!  We can't want to have students begin attending on August 27.
