First Week of School - From Blah to Blast Students spend their first week of school becoming familiar with
procedures and expectation and getting to know their teachers and principals. Each
discipline addresses a different topic each day so that students will feel comfortable
because they know what to expect. By the beginning of the second week, everyone is
ready to begin academic work.
This years activities include a video presentation on
Bulleying by Mrs. McCoy-Jackson, introduction of this year's theme, emergency drill
practice, and an assembly during which teachers present skits to emphasize school rules..
Diagnostic tests are given in each discipline so that teachers will know where to
begin their lessons. Students become familiar with the Student Code of Conduct,
helping them to make the best choices from the beginning of school. Everyone will
learn about the clubs and organizations that are available, so that they can decide where
to participate. Finally, this year, students will set up their school notebook and
practice organization skills that will help them be successful throughout the year.
The week will culminate in a pep rally where everyone will
celebrate the beginning of a new year and build a spirit of unity that will carry us
through this year.
