For Payson Seymour Junior High Students-First Week of School


The first week of school will go like this. Monday and Tuesday of next week (August 20th and 21st) are teacher work days. We have meetings about the upcoming school year and will also have some time to work in our rooms. On Wednesday (August 22nd) you, the students, will be coming to school for a half of a day (until 10:45). We usually have a short assembly with all the students, 7-12, in the high school gym to start out the day and then you are dismissed to your first hour class. Each class you go to, on this half of a day, will be approximately 10 minutes, or so, long. This gives each teacher time to take roll and introduce themselves. A HINT: Most, if not all, junior high teachers don't have time to hand out locks and lockers on this day so do not bring your school supplies until Thursday. On Thursday and Friday you will have regular hours 1st through 4th hours and shortened hours 5th through 7th hours. This is due to an early dismissal time on each day. The early dismissal time for Thursday and Friday is 2:00 p.m. On the morning of August 23rd (Thursday) all seventh graders should go to the multi purpose room as soon they are let in the door. All eighth graders should report to their first hour classes. On Thursday (August 23rd) most junior high teachers hand out books, lockers, and locks. Please visit my website to see what is going on during every week and what the homework is throughout the week. Some of my favorite sites are also linked on my site. I would also appreciate it if you visit my blog. Obviously you know where it is because you are reading this! We will be using my blog throughout the year to discuss important topics.

Let's have a great year! My goal for you is to learn as much as possible and to have some fun!
