WINTER UNIFORMS – The wearing of winter uniforms will begin this Monday, 10/16. Students must wear school sweaters, not sweatshirts, with their winter uniform. Any sweatshirts or t-shirts with Sacred Heart School or SHS may only be worn on gym days for grades 5-7.  (This includes spirit wear) The exception is 8th grade. When they receive their graduation year sweatshirts, they may wear them with the winter and/or gym uniforms. All students must have black shoes or plain black sneakers with their winter uniform. It is not black and green, or black and purple… etc. All boys in grades 5-8 must have a red tie. If girls in grades 5-8 want to wear pants, they are dress pants. Black jeans, cargo pants, or tights are not permitted.

CHROMEBOOK COVERS – All students must have a carrying case or padded cover for their Chromebooks. If not, we reserve the right to keep their Chromebooks until they bring a cover.

Students were given their Chromebooks on Friday. Please make sure that they charge the Chromebook each and every day. Also, every Chromebook must be in a case to protect it. I have seen some students with a cover that comes with a strap. That’s an excellent idea because it is so much easier to transport during the day. There is less of a chance of dropping it while carrying books to each class.

Thank you.

Have a great weekend!

Please note that there is no hot lunch this Friday. Students must bring a lunch, snack, and drink. Going forward, please always check the Thursday folder for special lunches on Fridays. If there is nothing offered on a particular week, your child will need to bring lunch.

This is just a test to see if my blog is now under my name for 5A.

My blog posts are coming through under Mrs. Rooney’s name. We are in the process of getting this straightened out. So, if you see a post under Mrs. Rooney’s name, it’s mine. Please open and read. Thank you!

WELCOME BACK!!

We made it through a rather toasty day on the third floor. It was wonderful to finally meet everyone in my class! They did an excellent job  with all of the new information and rules that go with being in junior high. Everyone was given books and schedules along with assigned lockers. We spent some time practicing opening locks. I know that within the next week or two they’ll feel more confident and comfortable. I hope that everyone is excited to really jump into the new year… with some cooler weather, of course.

I would like to say a very special WELCOME to all of our new students. It was a pleasure meeting some of you today. I look forward to working with you this year.

STUDENT HOMEWORK: Practice opening your locks.

PARENT HOMEWORK: Fill out all of the required paperwork and return ASAP. If anything, I would like to have all of the emergency information filled out and turned in tomorrow. Thank you!

Ms. Klein

CHECK IT OUT!

According to CNN, “On August 30th, a second full moon of the month will appear at the closest point to our planet this year making it an elusive super blue moon. It will reach its peak at 9:36 p.m. ET”

And according to NASA, “It’s a rare occurrence: Super blue moons only appear every 10 years on average.”

Hopefully we’ll be able to see this tonight. Happy moon watching!

Just a few notes regarding the Class of 2024 yearbook….

1. Start looking for any pictures of you and your classmates through the years and submit them to my email. Make sure your indicate in the subject line the person or event… for example, Girls Basketball
2. Start thinking about whether you’d like to be part of the yearbook staff. We need two editors (reliable students who can dedicate time to the design and layout of the book), at least 2-4 photographers, and 2-4 general staff.
3. Yearbook meetings will begin in October to decide on a design and plan the layout.
4. You can either contact me by email, or let me know during the first full week of school if you’d like to be on staff.

Looking forward to working on making your yearbook something you can look back on and be proud of. See you soon!

Well, yet another summer has flown by. It seems like yesterday that we all wished one another a wonderful summer break. With that being said, here is a reminder for all my Literature/Reading students….

In order to receive the extra credit grade for turning in your work, you must submit it to me by email before the first day of school. If you do not have access to email, or cannot submit it, please bring the work in on the first day. The due date for the assignment is our first class meeting on the first full week of school. However, if you wait until then you will not receive the extra credit grade. I have received quite a few assignments to my email, but there are still many more not turned in. Looking forward to seeing your work.

Ms. Klein

I hope everyone is having a fun and restful summer break. This is just to remind grades 5-8 students that your summer reading assignment is due the first full week of school. Please see my blog posts of June 2nd and June 13th for instructions. Again, anyone who submits their work to me before the first day of school will receive extra credit. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me.

Here is the supply list for the school year 2023-2024. This way you can take advantage of all the sales!Supply list 2023-2024

Dear Parents/Guardians:

At the beginning of June, I posted a Summer Reading assignment for grades 5-8. Students also received a printed copy. There seems to be some confusion as to whether or not this assignment is mandatory. The book for each class is required reading, and the assignments associated with the book will be graded. All work is due the first full week of school. If students turn in their work to me before the start of school, they will receive extra credit. A picture can be taken of the project, the document (written or typed) can be emailed to me at: jklein@sacredheartlynd.org

At the bottom of the Summer Reading posting, I listed the two required books for the 2023-2024 school year. The first is required by September 25th.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me.
