During this presentation, students must present a collection of evidence to support the five strands of the Five Star Rubric. Students should be able to show evidence that supports a level of “At” or “Above” standard. Throughout middle school advisory/homeroom teachers will provide activities that help students to identify and collect this evidence. These activities will include student lead conferences, goal setting, and reflective writings. It is not the responsibility of the staff to collect this evidence for students. As students work their way through middle school, they must remember to file away papers, certificates and awards, and pictures related to academics and involvement in ASB, athletics, clubs and participating in charitable events and activities provided by the community. Additionally, students will be participating in career exploration and long range planning. Papers related to this work will be a part of each student’s presentation. It is our goal to have students ready to succeed in high school so that they will be prepared for college. In turn, they will someday return to give back to our community! Students should review the La Conner Middle School Five Star Rubric often. It will be a useful tool as they move through middle school. Academic Eligibility Regarding Laptops – High School Students must maintain passing grades in all classes to be eligible for a laptop to be issued and retained. Grade checks will be performed at the end of each quarter. If a student has less than a 2.0 GPA or is failing any class, their laptop will be confiscated by the school and returned to the library. Confiscated laptops may be checked out/turned in on a daily basis with teacher or principal permission. Once the student meets eligibility criteria, he/she may regain possession. Activity Requirements To participate in ASB sponsored activities, students (and parent/guardians) must be sure these conditions are met: • ASB card purchased & activity fee paid (if applicable) • Proof of insurance in order and on file (students may purchase School Insurance as a primary or secondary policy) • Current medical release (physical) on file with athletic department • Current athletic/activity code signed and on file Associated Student Body (A.S.B.) Each level, middle and high school, has an individual A.S.B. made up of all students and guided by advisors. Regular meetings are held to help plan activities and generate cooperation among grades. Officers are elected in school-wide balloting. The elected A.S.B. officers have a highly active role in organizing school activities. They are also responsible for authorizing expenditure of the A.S.B.

But among young people from 12 to 24 years of age, alcohol abuse is increasing at least twice the rate. Drug abuse, too, is an increasingly serious factor in all aspects of the lives of our youth, as each day's news sadly confirms. The National Federation and its members believe that this chemical epidemic among students will not recede by itself. The battle requires effective education and prevention programs — programs to help students resist the peer pressure that engenders chemical abuse, programs that can take chemical abuse out of style in our society.
