Student Council

Student council is a mixture of students who have gotten write-up’s, and students who are always good. A lot of eight graders have gotten write ups for misbehaving for a sub. Also a lot of kids have been getting write ups and seem to not care. So student council is helping Mrs. Holguin Dotson reduce the write ups to 50%. That's what the student council's mission is to do before leaving this school. It's to show and be an example to the sixth and seventh graders.

As of last Friday all (A) categories no longer exist in eight grade. Every thing eight graders do will be counted as a category (B) write up. They will get sent home that same day. They will also get another write up if they don’t bring it back. Once they get two (B) categories they will not be able to attend the end of the year celebration. Student council is doing this to get kids to behave better.

If they misbehave for a sub, they get a (C) write up and are suspended for three days. This is one of the main problems with all the eight graders, they will get I.T.S, and when they come back. They will have to finish a really thick packet. They will stay there until the packet is done. I think this new discipline plan will work and get kids to behave more. We are teaching them to be more responsible for their own actions.
