Dear Hebron Families,
Fidgets and squeeze toys have become an issue at Hebron. While we do not want to prohibit fidgets, we do need to make sure they are reasonable in size and purpose. Only those that can fit in the palm of your hand will be allowed and only at appropriate times. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mrs. Burnett. A picture of a giant squishy toy is attached for reference as to what we are seeing more of and have been destructive in nature when busted. Thank you for your help, we appreciate you!
Sincerely,
Lauren Burnett

Dear Hebron Families,
We need your help. Students are expected to complete 40 mins on iReady in reading and 40 mins on iReady in math every week. This is done during 4th period for our intervention time. Students should at minimum, pass 1 lesson per week in both subjects. The reason this is so important is, each student works in what is called their "pathway". This means, if a student is deficit in a certain area and below grade level, they will get extra practice on the skills they specifically need. For those on grade level, they are pushed to accelerate their learning as well.
Beginning this week, you may notice an additional grade for your child's 4th period, for not only passing a lesson but also actively completing iReady minutes. We have been talking a lot with students about this and would appreciate families reiterating the expectation.
We are actively working towards creating a culture that holds students to high expectations, supports students as individuals and encourages them to not only believe they are capable of more but to help them achieve it.
Middle school is a tricky time but it is one that our staff genuinely enjoy. Together, we hope to speak these truths over students and watch them soar. Thank you for all you do to support Hebron Middle School, our students, staff and administration. It's a great day to be a PANTHER.
Sincerely,
Principal Burnett

Reminder: All students must have an adult accompany and remain with them during all sporting events. Students without an adult will not be permitted to stay. Thank you for your help in this.
PJ and Hat day at Hebron tomorrow and Friday!
Families, recently iready reports were sent home with students. Attached is a letter from Dr. Compton, Director of Secondary Schools, explaining how to utilize this information. When having these conversations with your children, please help us to also reinforce the expectation that all students must complete 25 minutes of iReady, weekly, on Mondays through Thursdays. This time is concentrated on the student's individual pathway. This pathway essentially meets them where they are and works on skills they are deficit in. This is a powerful tool to not only remediate but also accelerate student learning. Thank you in advance for your continued support. We appreciate you!

We still have a lot of kiddos that haven't signed in yet today. Please be sure you are on your 4th period Google meet right now, reach out to your teacher via email or be sure to submit work ASAP for your attendance to be counted! For questions, please reach out to Principal Burnett at Lauren.burnett@bullitt.kyschools.us
You know Mrs. Burnett loves a good competition! So, the grade level that has the highest rate of attendance the next two days will get a pajama and hat day when we return. IF our whole school hits a rate of 98%, I will allow FREE seating at lunch one day next week AND a whole school hat and pj day! You all have done so well with NTI days. Let's keep up the hard work and momentum!
Students and staff are currently on lunch. At 12:15, students are expected to be on iready for 25 mins. They may choose to complete reading or math. If your student has not checked in with their fourth period teacher yet today, please be sure to do so ASAP. Please let us know if you need anything! Thank You!
NTI Day tomorrow! Make sure you are actively engaged and present for each of your classes and completing your iReady minutes as well. We have worked too hard to slow down now! Please reach out if you need anything or have trouble at all!

Hebron Families,
I am blown away by the responses already for the CER prompt. I have received 15 student responses - on a snow day! You can't tell me Hebron kids aren't amazing! I announced that the first 25 will received 30 PBIS points for submitting. We will choose the top 3 to send to Dr. Bacon regarding tomorrow's decision for a snow or NTI day. Due to so many early responses however, I am going to extend this to the first 30 students! Get your responses in by 2p.m. TODAY to be considered! Attached are some things to consider. If any kiddo wants to resubmit, you are welcome to do so. Stay warm and cozy! As always, I am so proud to be your Principal and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with amazing students and families.
Sincerely,
Principal Burnett
Hey, hey, hey, it's a snow day! Tomorrow, Monday, January 26 will be a traditional snow day for BCPS. We will not have in person for learning on Tuesday as well but a decision has not been made as to if it will be a traditional snow day or NTI day. Bundle up with a great book and log some beanstack minutes. Students can also complete the challenge below:
Challenge - Write a CER using the prompt below. Email your response to Mrs. Burnett at Lauren.burnett@bullitt.kyschools.us. The first 25 students to submit a quality CER will received 30 PBIS POINTS! Good Luck!
Prompt:
Based on the weather conditions on Tuesday, should the day be an NTI day or a traditional snow day? You will write a CER (Claim–Evidence–Reasoning) response using facts, observations, and logical reasoning—not just opinions.
Take a clear position:
Tuesday should be an NTI day,
OR
Tuesday should be a traditional snow day
✨ Bonus Challenge:
Include a counterargument (What might someone who disagrees say?) and explain why your claim is still stronger.

Couple of clarifications:
*Cars may begin to line up across the front of the school beginning at 7:30 a.m. Please do not pull around to the front prior to this time in order to allow Discovery students (who start earlier) to be dropped off.
*Students may start unloading at 7:40 a.m.
*Students need to unload at the front of the building only.
*Please pull ALL the way forward as directed. Once the cars all stop across the front, all students need to unload.
Once the staff member stops the line, this will signal for everyone to safely unload. This will only work if we all do our part.
*Most of all, thank you for your patience as we try to find the best solutions to getting students in on time.
*Today moved faster! We will get there!

You asked, we answered! Thank you for the helpful suggestions regarding the morning drop off. Please see the attached image to explain. We will give this a try and see if this helps!
Hebron Families:
Our school day begins at 8a.m. Though we know the car rider line gets backed up at times, many did not arrive until after 8a.m this morning. We have tried to accommodate families and keep the door open longer and also bring the line around the front of the building for drop off. Unfortunately, this has had the opposite effect and car riders are being dropped off later. For this reason, any student that arrives after the 8 a.m bell will need to sign in the front office and will receive a tardy. We are actively working to create a culture of urgency and academic excellence at Hebron Middle School. Beginning on time and maintaining high expectations directly corresponds to this. We appreciate your understanding. Thank you in advance for your help and support of our students, staff and school at large.
Sincerely,
Principal Burnett
