Dear 7th grade,
Mrs. Joan DeRitis 7A and Miss Allison Downey 7B
Welcome to our Main Page
We are excited to welcome you back both in-person and virtually for the 2020-21 School year. We are here to help you in any way we are able, just ask. As we embark on this school year, we are unsure when we will go back to our typical school year, but what we do know is that we can make the best of what we have been given.
Masks must be worn in the school building, in hallways, in the hall, and in bathrooms. We will be giving breaks from mask-wearing throughout different times of the school day. Students are consistently reminded and expected to practice social distancing during the school day. Hand sanitizing and hand washing will also be consistent during our day. Please remember your mask every day!
Sincerely,
Mrs. DeRitis 7A and Miss Downey 7B ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have spoken with the students regarding the beginning of the third trimester, and most notably, to continue working and giving it their best. With sports and activities resuming slowly and the longer days of sunlight as spring is underway, it is easy for students to put homework and studying at the bottom of the list. Please try and keep the homework and studying routine in order and help your child with time management. If there are any problems or concerns, please email us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Remember the Three B's of Saint Andrew School:
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 outside the classroom. Teachers will continue to use their own unique reward systems in their classrooms.
