Tiger News

![Students working on a poster.](https://ems.svvsd.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2024/02/Screenshot-2024-01-31-at-8.34.37-PM-1024x776.png)
Hello Tiger Families!
Hello Tiger Families,
Today in Advisory we delivered our Principal’s Honor Roll and Honor Roll certificates and stickers. Are you ready for this?! 210 students earned a 4.0 in our school and 228 students earned a 3.5 to 3.99. That is a total of 438 students!
This is FANTASTIC! Our students are working hard and achieving really amazing things in our classrooms. This year, we moved to a new way to recognize our students. Along with their certificate, students now receive a sticker with the year and quarter marked on it. They can collect these stickers throughout their middle school career to show their achievement and dedication. We believe this is a more long-lasting way to celebrate our students AND a way to follow our district’s guidelines of not utilizing our school budget for food incentives.
This week, I also had the chance to get into 7th grade classrooms to work with students on the behaviors and skills that align with our school values. We did a really neat activity where students “connected the dots” between their daily actions and our ROARS values. I had a TON of fun with the students…and I strongly believe that these types of lessons and conversations make our school a more positive place to learn.
Also, parents, please take a moment to check out the Recent Updates section of our newsletter each week. This is where a lot of our information is posted.

If your student is absent for a full day, you have 24-48 hours to call in with the reason for the absence, after that it will be marked unexcused. Per board policy, if a student is absent 10 days excused or not, absences will begin to be marked “unexcused” unless previously noted and approved by school administration or there is a doctor’s note provided to the school.
If you know your student will be absent, tardy or checking out of school please fill out this Google form.
Please provide the school with a note from the doctor, orthodontist, dentist, therapist, or any appointment each time you go.
