During our recent PREP staff meeting, Coach Belyeu introduced faculty to the updated procedures for In-School Solutions, his intentional rebranding of the traditional In-School Suspension program.
In addition to reviewing the process for submitting student assignments and keeping students academically engaged, Coach Belyeu shared his vision for making the experience about more than simply serving a consequence.
Through In-School Solutions, students will have opportunities to reflect on their choices, consider what they could have done differently, and identify better ways to respond in the future.
Accountability. Reflection. Growth. Better choices.
We appreciate Coach Belyeu for taking a solution-focused approach and helping our Tigers learn, grow, stay motivated, and stay the course!

Science in Action!
Mrs. Grey’s 8th grade science students put their learning into action by creating electricity and testing the conductivity of salt, sugar, and baking soda. Through this hands-on investigation, students explored which substances allow an electrical current to flow and used their observations to compare the results.
Experiences like these help students connect science concepts to real-world applications while strengthening critical thinking, problem-solving, and inquiry skills.
Great job, 8th grade scientists!

This year our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade are competing against each other in the Tiger Points Program! Grade levels will earn points through academics, attendance, and school spirit to gain access to exciting opportunities!
Grade levels can lose points for things like tardies and discipline. Our 8th graders are currently in the lead after having the most Iready completions and the least amount of chronically absent students for the month of August! Keep up the good work, 8th graders!

We are thrilled to embark on the month ahead, filled with celebrations of Hispanic culture, history and traditions! From engaging lessons inside the classroom to joyous festivals that bring the community together, we can’t wait to share with you the many ways our district will commemorate and honor Hispanic Heritage Month!

Weekend Recharge!
Reading isn’t just for ELA, it supports learning across the curriculum! Strong reading skills help students understand math problems, make sense of science concepts, explore history, follow directions, and communicate their thinking.
Just 20 minutes this weekend is a simple way to keep those skills growing.
Read. Recharge. Be ready for Monday!

INSTRUCTIONAL COACH SPOTLIGHT 🌟
Coaching in Action: Cubing the Victory!
This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Coach Nakarra Young as she stepped into the classroom for a collaborative math lesson!
Coach Young worked alongside our students as they explored how to find the cube root of a number; bringing together instruction, teamwork, problem-solving, and a little fun!
At Minor Middle, instructional coaching is about more than supporting great teaching but it’s about learning together and growing together.
