Good morning Explorers, let's remember to have La Joya PRIDE in everything we do!

STUDENT ANNOUNCEMENTS
*ASB will be selling pizza during lunch today and Monday.  You can buy a slice of pizza for $2 and a water for $1.
*If you are interested in being a cafeteria aide, please speak with Mrs. Mcleroy in the cafeteria between classes.  Students who are in 7th grade would help during 2nd lunch, and the 8th grade students would help during 1st lunch.

*If you have a missing class period or two classes that are the exact same, then please report to the 7th or 8th grade pods across from the library to report this.  Schedule change requests for a different elective will be available at a later date.
* The Library will begin textbook checkouts on Monday with 7th graders and Tuesday with 8th graders.  You will be checking out Science and History books through your Science   class.  Students taking Spanish and Integrated math will check out those books on Wednesday.  The books that are checked out to you must go home with you.  Do not switch books with anyone or you will be charged for the original book if it does not come back at the end of the year.  English and Math books will be given to you by your teachers.  If you do not have a history class you do not need to check out a history book.
*School picture day is Friday, August 18th.  All students will have their picture taken during their PE class.  Remember the dress code still applies and to wear your best smile!
*Safety is important!!!  When both coming and leaving school, students need to walk on the sidewalks and in the cross walks only.  Please do not walk or ride in the parking lot or streets.  If you are riding a skateboard, bike, or other device; please use caution and wear your helmet.  You will be cited by Visalia Police Department if you do not.

*As a reminder, please walk on the sidewalks while on campus.  This will help keep the grass and our campus looking its best.
*Schedule Change Requests                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Schedule change request forms are now available in the Pathfinder, Magellan or Front Office.  If you would like to request a different elective or some other change, please fill one out and return it to the front office no later than Monday, Aug. 21st.  Changes are not guaranteed, so you should follow your original schedule unless called into the office and given a new schedule.
*       Dress Code Reminder
Just a quick reminder about the Dress Code.
