7th/ 8th Grade J-Term Communication

Dear 7th and 8th Grade Families,

Tomorrow during crew, your student will be receiving this communication to go home. It will contain a document that will need to be signed and returned to your child’s crew teacher. 

As we approach the end of the year, we wanted to give you a more detailed update on what the last two weeks of school will look like for your student(s). It is our hope that during these last two weeks students still continue to focus on their core academic courses in the morning while in the afternoons having the opportunity to rotate through different engaging activities taught by our 7th and 8th grade teachers. Below is information regarding specifics to the last two weeks. It is important to note that attendance and grading still count these last two weeks of school. 

Schedule Overview:

TIME	CLASS / EVENT
8:00AM – 8:10AM	Crew
8:13AM – 9:10AM	Core Class

It is important to note that students’ schedules will look different for these last two weeks. Cohorts will be adjusted and when they take their core classes will be adjusted. These will be communicated out to students at the end of next week.

Junior High finals will be held in two parts. Elective and enrichment courses will have finals on Wednesday, May 29th and Thursday, 30th. Core content classes will have finals on Wednesday, June 12th and Thursday, June 13th. 

Afternoon Rotations: 

In the afternoon, our 7/8 teachers will be hosting various activities both indoors and outdoors. Students will rotate through these with their crews. On the last day of school (6/13), students will be with administrators and support staff for the afternoon both in the gym and library for activities. One of the rotations will include archery. Please see the attached waiver that you must fill out to have your student participate. If this is not returned it will count as an automatic opt-out and admin will figure out an alternative space for these students on that specific day. 

What to bring daily:

• Sunscreen
• Hat/visor
• Water Bottle
• Sweatshirt/lightweight jacket
• Closed toed shoes
• Comfortable clothing that is easy to move in
• Sunglasses 

We are looking forward to these last two weeks and finishing up our year strong. If you have questions, please reach out to the LCHS front office at 719.486.6950 and they can answer your questions and/or direct you to the correct person.
