Counselors’ Corner

IRMA

The guidance department has been running a

food / clothing pantry for families that were

impacted by Irma. The food pantry is on our

stage and is open on Tuesdays between the hours

of 9:00 am and 11:00 am. If you are unable to

come on Tuesdays during those hours, you can

always call the school to make an appointment.

If you have needs due to being

impacted by IRMA, please call Ms.

Edwards, at 377-3617; she will try

to find a way to meet those needs.

Report Cards

It is almost report card time. Please have a conversation

with your child to see if they really know where they are

grade wise… there is still time to turn in missing

assignments! Ü

If you are in need of a parent / teacher conference, call Ms.

Cathie Breen at 377-3617.

6th Grade Math Happenings!

Irma took a bit of wind out of our sails of progress, but we have recovered well and

are full speed ahead to a successful year of building foundational math skills and

procedures. Our focus has been on transitioning from elementary inquiry methods

with multiple representations to more standard algorithms of operations. We are

currently working on quotients of fractions headed into all operations on decimals.

These concepts require strong basic math facts. Ratios, proportions, and percent are

just around the corner.

Parents, you can help your child by checking their homework nightly,

encouraging them to practice their math facts, and using the online

textbook or USA Test Prep as a resource. Remember there is also after

school math help as well as lunch with Mr. Dozer, our math coach.

Best regards,

Your 6th grade math team

East Naples Middle

October 20th

Culture Day

8th grade students will have four

different ways to present their

culture: Gab, Garb, Grab and

Grub.

Gab and Grab are kind of alike; both involve talking, but

for Grab students will bring in an artifact from their

culture to walk about. For Grub students will be able to

bring in a unique food from their culture and Garb will

have students dress in an outfit from their culture.

Oct. 26th-Nov. 3rd

Red Ribbon Week

Beginning on October 23rd, East Naples Middle will be

observing Red Ribbon Week. During this time, students

will be given the opportunity to pledge to be drug free, and

learn about the negative consequences that drug abuse can

have on their lives and their future. To promote the event,

students will also be given the opportunity to dress to

specific themes as a mini-spirit week to promote Gator

Pride and the drug free initiative.

Nov. 3rd

Student Council Dance

On November 3rd, East Naples Middle will be having

their first all grade level dance of the year! It is being

sponsored by the Student Council with the assistance of

PTO, and it going to be a Costume Ball. There will be

costume contests, but the masks and props need to stay at

home, and Collier County Dress Code will still need to be

adhered to. There will be food and drink available for

purchase and games and prizes. The cost of the dance is

$5.00 and will require a signed permission slip to attend

from 6:30-8:30pm. All students will need to be picked up

promptly so that our volunteers can go home in a timely

manner. We look forward to seeing everyone there, and

ready to have some fun!

Nov. 6-17th

Canned Food Drive

Partnered with Collier Harvest, East Naples Middle is

organizing a canned food drive for two weeks to help give

back to the East Naples Community. The drive will run

from November 6th-17th. With the help of Collier

Harvest, all donated cans and non-perishable food items

will stay in East Naples and support our neighbours

through the holidays. If you are in the position to do so,

please consider donating cans, pasta, rice, peanut butter,

beans, etc. to our drive. There will be a school-wide

competition between Homerooms, and we are hoping to

put our student's competitive spirit to good use!
