Welcome **All students welcome, valued, respected.**

media type="custom" key="20856238"     **Pyramid House Adopted Family 2011** Students from the Pyramid House have made this Christmas one to remember for two local families. As a service learning project, the class adopted a family through //The Giving Tree,// a Howard - Suamico School District charity. Due to the immense generosity of the students and their families, over $1,500 worth of items, money and gift cards were donated! Because of this outpouring of Holiday spirit, the Pyramid House was able to adopt a //second// family and help to make their Christmas special as well. Thank you to all of the families who donated and helped to bring a little Christmas magic to our community.

Agenda Planner We feel the agenda planner is both a great tool for keeping students **organized** and a simple way to **communicate** between school and home. We require students to fill in some information for each academic class. Sometimes they will write NH (No Homework), N/A (Not Applicable), what they did that hour, or what was assigned for homework. There is also a blue section in the agenda planner called the **Responsibility Log** to write in any missing assignments or behavior issues. We will help you remember to look at the blue section by placing a sticker on the bottom of the current date page identifying that your son/daughter received an entry. We require students to get a parent signature the day they receive the **Responsibility Log** entry. As students grow, we want to place more responsibility on them. We will require all students get their Agenda Planner signed everyday for the first quarter. After that time we will allow parents and students to decide how they want to continue using the planners. The Responsibility Log entries will still be required to get a signature even after the first quarter.

As with text books pages of the planner are not to be torn out.

Noon Detention

Students will not be required to spend a whole noon hour with a teacher for disciplinary issues.

Instead students will come up to the teacher’s room for the first 5 minutes of lunch before getting his or her lunch. During this time we will have a discussion to help the student make better choices. The noon detention will be communicated to parents using the agenda planner. On the current date, we will write **5 minute noon** at the bottom of the page.

Weekly Celebrations

We plan to have weekly celebrations to promote **teamwork** and help us build **community** in our house. Usually these celebrations are done on Friday during Guided Study. Every student will be allowed to participate. What will we do for our weekly celebrations? Ø Team sports (dodge ball, kickball) Ø Popcorn and a movie Ø Talent Show Ø Board Games Ø Other fun activities We are always looking for new activities to help build community. Please share your ideas!
