1 BACK TO SCHOOL Guide

2 A Message from the Superintendent " No time spent working with children is ever wasted." Garrison Keillor Hendry County s public school system serves more than 7,000 students in grades K-12 at six elementary, two middle, and two high schools. A wide range of educationally beneficial experiences await each student who enters our schools, and we are proud to see them progress academically through the grade levels on their march toward the ultimate goal of high school graduation. Students will face academically vigorous reading, math and science programs at the elementary and middle levels. Middle schools will expose students to vibrant math and science curriculums, and students will have an increased opportunity to earn high school credit. High school students will have opportunities to take Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment classes, and have the ability to participate in many industry certification academies and programs in Clewiston and LaBelle. Hendry County s teachers, principals, and administrators are working very hard to implement programs that will enhance student growth and achievement. We are striving to improve educational experiences for our students by cultivating partnerships with parents, businesses, and other community stakeholders. We can give our students a better future by working together to provide our leaders of tomorrow with what they need today.

We will have binders with dividers on sale for $5 at our bookstore during Open House on Aug. 8th from 6pm-8pm. 3

6 Clewiston Middle School Dress Code & Student Conduct We believe that appropriate dress is essential to an orderly & productive school atmosphere. How you dress is a reflection of how you feel about yourself & how others see you. Students are expected to come to school well-groomed & neatly dressed. It is the joint responsibility of every student, parent, or guardian, teacher & administrator to see that the dress of the student is appropriate & does not interfere with the teaching/learning process. Any time missed due to dress will be unexcused. The Clewiston Middle School student body will adhere to the following dress code. CMS administration reserves the right to prohibit the wearing of any article of clothing, accessory, or hairstyle that is considered disruptive to the education process. Student requirements include: All students will be required to carry a school badge Safe footwear shall be worn at all times. No flip-flops, slides, or bedroom slippers are permitted.

The rules will be posted on a wall in each classroom. Encouraging good conduct is just as important as stopping poor behavior. We hope we can count on the support of parents and students in keeping our classrooms running smoothly. Students need to: 1. Obey all adults, not just their own teacher, at all times. 2. Do their best, especially to get all tests, class work, and homework completed and turned in. 3. Be cheerful and try to get along with others; fighting and bullying will be dealt with seriously. 4. Take care of books and school property. 5. Leave other people's things alone and turn in found items to the teacher or office immediately. 6. Learn to take turns; avoid pushing, shoving, and skipping others in line. 7. Keep the school grounds, halls, bathrooms, and classrooms neat, free from trash and graffiti. 8. Walk at all times (except at PE). Individual classroom teachers may have additional rules and procedures for their specific classrooms. 5
