Third Trimester will be quick for our 8th Graders, please inform and remind them of the following:

Attendance - Students who will excessive a combination of unexcused tardies and absences may affect their eligibility to participate in all 8th grade activities for the for the last trimester.

Behavior - As 8th graders, they must continue to demonstrate the Schoolwide Learning Expectations - Followers of Jesus, Academically Aware, Socially Aware, and Totally Healthy in Mind, Body, and Spirit. Students are still expected to adhere the TRIBES' AGREEMENTS. 

Academics - Students are expected to continue to submit quality work on time. If they are struggling, continue to ask for clarifications during class time and/or attend office hours. 

We want our 8th graders to enjoy the rest of their stay here at SAP and graduate with flying colors. Few more months and they will be entering their chosen High Schools.
