Newsletter for Week of December 23

Week of December 23

International Baccalaureate (IB) Update

I am sharing a brief video with you once again in case you missed last week's Middle Matters edition.  This was created by Julian Middle School's IB coordinator, Jennifer DeBruin. The intent of this video is to provide you with an update on the work that we are doing related to IB here in our building.

Media Center/Main Office Hours Friday

This is a reminder that on Friday the Media Center will be closed from 8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m.

We will host our annual staff breakfast tomorrow so there will be no library supervision available before school.  Also, the school office will open at 8:30 a.m. and close at 4:00 p.m.  Please be sure to make appropriate arrangements.

School Attendance

We have been in school for approximately 4 months.  I am reaching out to share information with all of our parents/guardians about the importance of students being in school.  Here at Julian, we strive for attendance rates that are above 95% for the school year.  Please read this document outlining information about this topic.

Honor Roll Breakfast

Please note the dates for the Trimester 1 Honor Roll breakfasts:
8th Gr- Tuesday, January 10

7th Gr- Thursday, January 12

6th Gr- Friday, January 13
Each breakfast is at 8:00am in the Julian commons. Students that have a 3.0 GPA or higher with no I, D or U grades are invited. Students received their invitations this week in advisory class.  Parents that have Honor Roll students will also receive an email invitation from Julian Middle School tomorrow.

Lost and Found

Any clothing item or lunch bag in the Lost and Found that's labeled with a name will be returned to that student. Otherwise, the items not labeled will be donated to charity or disposed of on the afternoon of Friday, December 23. We have been reminding students for the past few days to take home their belongings.  Feel free to stop by Julian prior to winter break if you would like to have a look for yourself.
