Good afternoon,
This is a short version of Eye on the Junior High since you just received a longer email from me about student behavior assemblies this week.
Happy Diwali to all families who celebrate! I slipped up this week when I didn’t remind teachers early enough about this celebration and what it means for our students’ homework and assessments. Only today did I remind teachers to not give homework tonight or tests tomorrow. I apologize and I promise to do better next time. If your child feels pressured to get work done tonight and your family is celebrating in some way, Mr. Marcotte has given them permission to not do their homework tonight.
We continue to live through an irregular pattern of days off. This past Tuesday was a very productive professional day for our RJ Grey staff. We hope it was a good day for our students at home. Next Thursday, we are closed for Veterans Day. Huge shout out to any Veterans who are part of our RJ Grey community - we thank you for your service.
Here are some upcoming dates at RJ Grey:
-Thursday, November 11: No School - Veterans’ Day
-Monday, November 15: Early Release at 1pm
-Monday, November 15: School Council Meeting #2 (Zoom link)
-Wednesday, November 24: Early Release for Thanksgiving (11:10 am)
Take care,
Jim Marcotte
