Barback Obama

Yeah Barack won the election and he bout to change the world forever. Barack is the first African American president and i hope he make this country proud.

I think we should go to a field trip to like going camping for the weekend. I think it would be fun if we go as a class or the whole middle school.

obama

I think he is a good president for our country. He will do some changes for us because he is the first African American president. He also want to lower the taxes. I like him because he likes Mexicans and black people. Also, he is not racist.

Parent-Teacher Conferences

Thank you to all parents and students who have come to parent-teacher conferences. This is an extremely important event to support our kids. Remember that anytime you want to know what is going on at school, you may log onto this weblog, call Mr. Poignant, or send an e-mail. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Clarification on Incident Report Policies

Dear Students and Parents,

After school today there was a meeting among Mr. Bibbs, Dean Daniels, Ms. Freeman, Mrs. Morrow, Mrs. Gliesmann, and me. At this meeting we discussed many things, including discipline and the fact that students are often asked to change their behavior several times, and these reasonable requests often are ignored. Therefore, this is our policy:

If a teacher asks a student to change his/her behavior or to stop certain behavior and the teacher has to repeat the request one or more times, the teacher will be writing an incident report for insubordination, and this will be forwarded to Dean Daniels.

In other words, if students have to be asked twice to do something or to stop a behavior, you will be written up. I am hopeful that teachers will not have to be writing up many kids, especially since we have all had such a great couple of weeks. If you have any questions, please ask.

Also, we will be discussing this in class tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Mr. Poignant
