Middle Matters Week of Oct. 31st 2016

Brooks Families:

There are only 36 school days left in 2016! Energy levels can get low as we prepare for our holiday season. To help keep students focused, here are some tips to keep them organized.

Remind them what they should have in their possession each day before they leave home.
Remind them of your expectations as a student each day (strength based words).Check Canvas with your student each day.
Help to create a task list/calendar for your student to keep them organized.

Congrats to the Lady Eagles!

The JV finished the season with a 13-3 record and a 4th place finish out of 12 teams. The Varsity finished the season with a 15-1 record and a 2nd place finish out of 12 teams. They are headed to the playoffs!
