How can we make the school better?

You often gripe about the school. Try sharing an idea of how students and teachers can make the school better. Be serious.

What is the best part of school so far?

The year has just started and you have moved up stairs to the Junior High. What would say are the two best things about being a 7th or 8th grader in this school.

Dances

If we had another dance but chose to have it somewhere other than the school and played more of the music we actually listen to would you be more inclined to come? This is just an idea, it might not even be an option, but what do you think?

Music In the Halls

What kind of music or genre of music would you like to hear in the hallways between classes?

8th grade graduation party

We want to have a graduation party for the 8th graders the night before we leave for the 8th grade trip. What are some of your ideas for where the party should be and what we should do there?

Making School Fun

There were a bunch of ideas to make school better, but not all of them were so great. I agree that the cafeteria should have better food, but we can't really change that. We already have a no homework Wednesday, but that doesn't prevent the teachers from assigning things due Friday, or doing projects. A dance at the end of each month is a lot to ask because of the preparation needed for each one. You are allowed to listen to your ipod, just a teacher has to say it's okay. About the dance music, we can have more 'guy' songs, they just have to be appropriate and not suggestive. You can write down some ideas and give them to one of the student council members. Any thing else? Please keep it school-related and within our power.

Write Your name

If you don't sign your comment with your first name, it will be rejected.

What are some ways that the school could save money?

Next year the school will have a difficult time operating because they will have less money. Can you think of some ways the school could save money without hurting the quality of education? One idea that some people have been discussing is a 4 day school week. In the right column of this blog is a poll. Go ahead and vote on the subject. Feel free to comment about whether you think it is a good idea or not under this post. Please keep your comments constructive, useful, thoughtful and respectful.

Making School Fun :D

Student Council and Leadership would like ideas on how to make this school better and more exiting. Feel free to post all your ideas but please refrain from putting anything you know is not in our power to do. Thank you we will look forward to reading your ideas.

2. Do not link to your personal blog/journal from your school blog; you might reveal information on there that you don't want to reveal on your school blog.

3. If you write your opinion on a topic, make sure you're not going to be offensive as you write it.

4. Always make sure you check over your post for spelling errors, grammar errors, and your use of words. Paste your post in a word processor and run spellcheck, or download a spellchecker for your browser.

5. Never disrespect someone else in your blog, whether it's a person, an organization, or just a general idea. You don't want someone making a stab at what you are passionate about; don't do it to someone else.

6. Don't write about other people without permission; if you can't get their permission, use first name only. never share someone else's last name.

7. Watch your language! This is part of our school community. Language that is inappropriate in school is also inappropriate in your blog.

8. Make sure things you write about are factual. Don't be posting about things that aren't true. Link to your sources.

9. Keep it education-oriented. That means you probably shouldn't discuss your plans for the weekend, the last dance, etc.
