Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
            Welcome to the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year at <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Mt.</st1:PlaceType> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Juliet</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Middle School</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>.  We would like to be among the first in welcoming you to a new school as well as to a new school year.  We look forward to working with you and your child.
            Since the middle school concept may be new for some of you, it’s our pleasure to briefly describe what it entails.  Your child has already been placed with a team (Team 6A).  Each team has five teachers that will closely work with you and your child to ensure a successful year.  The teaming model is used to help make your child’s transition from elementary school to middle school as easy as possible.  We will also be on a block schedule system (A days Mon. & Wed. /B days Tues. & Thurs., A&B Fri.), which will be explained in more detail at Open House (July 30th, 2009 at 6:00 pm).  So there will be many new changes for your child this year.  
 
*Expectations: 
·        Arrive on time in dress code to school daily.  This includes having their shirt tucked in and wearing a belt.
·        Turn in class work/homework on time.
·        Come to class prepared with all required classroom materials and your         AGENDA.
·        Treat people, property, and yourself with respect.
