Conferences at UJHS Fall 2012

Conferences

A Note from the Office (JH) Nov. 13th 2012

The high school will be on it's assembly schedule today. That means the 7th grade lunch will be a mess. If we could release the 7th graders at 11:25, we could get them into eat before the influx of high school students arrive. Mrs Petty is very sorry that you will be losing those important classroom minutes!! She hopes you understand :)

JH Tutoring

We are going to be starting after school tutoring the week after Thanksgiving break. The sessions will be Tuesdays and Thursdays until 4:15PM. Tutoring is a committment for students- not just for if they have fallen behind temporarily, but for consistent help through the year. In addition to assistance with homework, there will be opportunities to reassess, study for tests, and learn good study skills. Please send me names of students whom you believe would benefit from tutoring, and I will be making contact with parents. Thanks a bunch! Katie
