Hello BOBCATS!
It’s going to be a busy month as we launch ourselves toward the end of the school year! Hold on to your hats!
Our 8th grade families should have Friday, June 2nd at 1 pm on the calendar for Promotion, held at the Norco High School Stadium. Students will arrive by 12:15 pm to the GYM to check in and line up for the event! More to come next week in an email about dress, seating, etc. We will also be having a separate 8th grade awards night, by invitation only, for our Presidential Honor Awards and Teacher Awards on May 25th. Look for more info soon!
In preparation for high school, our 8th graders should have all chosen courses on-line, and hopefully you took the opportunity to meet with a high school counselor in an individual meeting. If you did not yet take this opportunity, please check your Parent Connect account for “Requests” by your student for the 23-24 year. All on-time transfers are now approved, and you should be able to view your transfer status in Parent Connect under Student Documents section to know which high school your child is scheduled to attend. You should be receiving email and text communications from your high school…if not, check junk emails or “clutter” to find them, or check your email address on Parent Connect.
Our current 7th graders will receive a course selection sheet May 22nd to review with parents, and begin their 23-24 course selection here at school in the final week.
ALL CURRENT AND FUTURE STUDENTS must REGISTER ON LINE through your Parent Connect account to receive a placement and a schedule for the 23-24 school year. This is open NOW, and should be completed before school ends! This is extremely important, and is a requirement for all!! Get the phone app, Q PARENT CONNECTION on your cell phone to make it all easier!
And finally, we are preparing for our END OF YEAR activities here on campus, based on students who qualify through meeting the expectations in our planner – 2.0 average GPA, good attendance and good behaviors. Events include a Field Day, Team rewards, 8th Grade Breakfast and 8th Grade Hoedown Dance! We will send notice soon by email to those who qualify and separately to those who need to meet and set a final goal to finish strong, with NO missing work and NO office referrals. All students qualify for our Bobcat Buck Raffle at lunch as well, as long as they’ve got bucks to enter!
Take our SURVEY HERE! We welcome you feedback as we plan our upcoming year!!
Thank you for your continued support as your child finishes the year. Growth and progress is happening, and we thank you for letting us be a part of it!
Sincerely,
Your Bobcat Team
