The Middle School Minute - Tips for Scholar Success

Academic Integrity

Middle School scholars can be tempted to engage in academic dishonesty. At this age, scholars are highly aware of how they compare with their peers and may see cheating as a way to keep up.

Here are some strategies to help promote academic integrity:

• Send a clear message that integrity is worthwhile and needed for long-term success not only in academics but in life.
• Understanding the “why”? Is your scholar worried about disappointment? If this is the case, we should focus on the importance of putting forth their best effort and the importance of learning.
• Help your scholar to incorporate strategies such as time management and strengthening study habits to help bolster earning respectable grades.
• Find help, as tutoring in school and out of school can help build ownership of learning and academic integrity.

Health Office Reminders

As it is Cold & Flu Season, we are seeing lots of scholar with coughs, sore throat, congestion and fatigue. There are a few things we can do to help our scholars stay healthy:

• Remind your scholar to cover his/her nose and mouth with a tissue when sneezing or coughing.
• Have your scholar wash their hands frequently with soap and warm water.
• IF YOUR SCHOLAR IS SICK WITH A FEVER, KEEP THEM HOME TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF ILLNESS TO OTHERS
• YOUR SCHOLAR SHOULD BE NATURALLY FEVER-FREE (TEMP BELOW 100 DEGREES) WITHOUT THE AID OF MEDICATIONS FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS BEFORE RETURNING TO SCHOOL. THIS IS SCHOOL POLICY.

If your scholar had cold or flu symptoms, please do not give fever reduces to minimize symptoms. When the medicine wears off, the fever will return, and they will have exposed classmates and teachers to their illness. When your child has a fever, they are at a higher risk of other illnesses or viral infections. There are many reasons to keep a sick scholar at home.  

If your child does come down with COVID, CDC and AZDHS policy is to stay home for 5 days from the first symptoms or positive COVID test, whichever comes first. Please contact the Health Office when a scholar does come down with COVID to answer any questions you may have and help figure out what day to return to school.

You can upload pictures of school events with the yearbook at buytheyearbook.pictavo.com. You will log in to your account (you may need to create a new account) and then click on “pictures” (screenshot below) and upload your favorite photos of school events. Thanks for sharing!
