Lunch Bunch Tickets:
Students can participate in Lunch Bunch Monday and Wednesdays in the library and receive 5 extra credit points per visit. They can submit their tickets at the end of each trimester to redeem points and boost their overall grade up to one full grade. They may not attach the tickets to homework or tests during the trimester.

Google Classroom + Chromebooks: This is an educational interactive classroom where students will turn in assignments and discuss articles and literature with their peers via a discussion board. Students will have access to Google Classroom on their Chromebook and it is used during the school day to help aid in classroom learning so it is imperative they bring their Chromebook charged daily. Failure to bring Chromebook or have it charged coming into class will result in a strike. 3 strikes=a detention.

Remind App: Remind is a communication tool that I will be using to communicate with both students and parents during the school year. It will be mandatory for students to sign up either via phone or e-mail and optional but encouraged for parents to sign up.
How to sign up:
1). To receive text message reminders: Send a text to 81010 and in the message body type: @funstons
2). To receive e-mail message reminders: E-mail me at [email protected] with the e-mail you want to be contacted at and I will add you.
*You should receive a message saying you are added into the class. Students please answer honestly that you are a student and parents a parent.

Missing + Absent Work:
Students must use the classroom webpage for daily homework assignments when they are absent and check the absent folder in class on the day they return. They must use their own time (before school or lunchtime) to have the material explained to them by the teacher because there will not be class time to catch them up. Please make it a habit for your child to check the website daily; they may be able to do some of the work while they are out.. It is VERY difficult on students in the 8th grade year to keep up with the pace of all the classes, so please encourage your children to be in school everyday, and if an absence is necessary, help them to be diligent in making up the work. Missing/late work will NOT BE ACCEPTED and result in a zero unless permission has been previously granted. I am extremely firm on this.
