Mrs. Joan DeRitis 7A and Mrs. Amanda Hale 7B
Dear 7th grade,Welcome to the school year 2021--22. Masks are to be worn in the school building, in hallways, in the hall, and in bathrooms. We will be giving breaks from mask-wearing throughout the school day. Make sure you have a clean mask every day. Also, please be sure to back a cold water bottle or two, and bring in two napkins for your lunch.
On this main page will be general information each month, and for teacher work, click on the left sidebar. If there are any questions or you need clarification, we are here to help you in any way we can, just ask.
You will be expected to practice social distancing during the school day. Take the time to hand sanitize and wash your hands throughout the day.
We are a team and will work together cooperatively to make this year successful. As seventh graders, you need to be mindful that you are role models to the younger students and will strive to be respectful, responsible, empathetic, and kind!
Sincerely,
Mrs. DeRitis and Mrs. Hale

Be Respectful ~ Be Empathetic ~ Be Responsible
In May 2018, the PBIS program was introduced to our students through lesson plans and consistent modeling. PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. We have adopted this program to encourage good behavior and consider this as important as academics. The key to PBIS is prevention, not punishment. Expectations for Responsibility, Empathy, and Respect - The 3B's for Arrival/Dismissal, Hallways, Lunchroom, Church, Bathrooms, Recess Yard, and Transitions have been presented to the student body and the different matrices are displayed and visible throughout both buildings. "Cardinal Cash" will be used by all teachers and administration when a student is caught showing one of The Three B's inside and outside the classroom.
