Hello and welcome to the 8th Grade Homeroom Page.  Here you will see class announcements and FYIs.

 

Week of 9.7: Stay tuned for information on a high school application information night.  We will be discussing 9/11 on Friday.  

 

Week of 8.31:   This week we are focusing on routines and organization to prepare us for a successful 8th grade year.   I will collect summer work packets through Thursday.  They are optional, but students will get a prize for completing them. 

      Students have organized their binders and put dates in their planners. They also have a monthly and yearly calendar.   I have encouraged them to write down practice days and times for sports and activities on their calendars and planners to help them look ahead and use their time wisely.  I would like to encourage families to make a monthly or trimester supply check of their student's binders to help clean out old papers and ensure that they always have good pencils and paper.  This is a great time to put it in your to-do list now.

      Wednesday, 9/2 will be a free dress day.  There is no school on Friday, 9/3 or Monday 9/7.

 

 

Link to the Confidential Teacher Evaluation Form / Transcript Request (For high school applications, students must turn in ASAP):  https://www.kennedyhs.org/uploaded/Admissions/ApplicationProcess/School_Report.Transcript_Request_and_Teacher_Evaluation.pdf

 

There are two separate forms on that link. The Confidential Teacher Evaluation Form is filled out by myself and the other 8th grade teachers and sent to the high schools they are applying to. Please turn this form into me.

 

The Transfer Request Form is filled out by the office and principal.  Please turn this into the office.

 

These MUST be turned in for a complete high school application. We make copies and turn them into the schools for you once we have completed them. Please make sure to fill out the parts that you must fill out (it will say "to be completed by the applicant") These take us a great amount of time to fill out, so I ask that these get turned in by the end of November so that we (the staff) may work on them and get them turned into the high schools before Christmas break. 

 

Attached below are PDF's  filled with information from the Catholic high schools on open houses, information nights, and high school specific admissions contact information, deadlines for applications, test dates, and fees. Please consult these. The sooner you start this process, the better. Please let me know if there are any questions!
