Students earn lunch bunches by not turning in homework. This program was started two years ago in response to the many homework assignments that were not being turned in. This program can also be utilized by students who want extra study time. If they have an event to attend after school or want to get their homework done before they go home, they can check themselves in to lunch bunch. Lunch Bunch is also used for students whose behavior warrants a missed lunchtime recess.
Specials Students attend specials every week.
Art , gym, and math lab will be once a week and music will be twice a week. Students will also participate in reading enrichment with either Mrs. Martin or Ms. Kaiser. Please refer to the Russell Schedule for specific times. Every student is responsible for completing two book reports per month in accordance with the District 97 standards. Students may choose their own grade-level book , although there may be some instances that all students will read the same book for the same type of report.
