7th Graders are Dynamite!!!

(We are: dedicated, young, noble, athletic, maturing, intellegent, trustworthy and excelling! )

Welcome back, St. Thomas Aquinas 7th graders! You are about to begin another year at St. Thomas Aquinas. We have a lot to do and learn, plus a lot of memories to make. As we come together as a middle school, please remember a couple of things:

1) Please bring in all supplies listed on the supply list for the first day of school.

2) Bring pleanty of paper, pencils, pens, etc. for every class every day.

3) Bring a sunny smile and a ready-to-work attitude!

4) Be in uniform, shoes tied, etc. Don't try to cross the line with the School Board directed uniform rules.

5) We are in need of a Room Mom or Dad. If your parent would like to volunteer, have her/him contact Mrs. Murphy.

6) The codes for the Science and Social Studies books are the same as this year, so you can access it during the summer if you'd like to

start getting ahead.

In case you leave your science book at school, here is your access code to use at home: CA1A51D6CE Your Social Studies code is: B208FCA393. Those are both case sensitive, so capitalize all the letters like I have written them.
