How am I expected to act at school as well as on the way to and from school?
All 7th and 8th grade students are expected to comply with the Code of Discipline of the Boston Public Schools as well as the School-Based Rules. In addition, we expect all 7th and 8 grade students to demonstrate respect for themselves and others through their words and actions. We have a zero tolerance policy for bullying, name calling, harassment and fighting.

Cell phones must not be used during school hours and must be turned off (not just on vibrate) and put away. Cell phones will be confiscated in accordance with BPS policy.
If a family member needs to get in touch with you during the school day, they should call the main office, Mr. MacLeod or Ms. Choi and the message will be promptly communicated to you. Depending on the circumstances, you may also be permitted to make a telephone call in the main office or in Mr. MacLeod or Ms. Choi’s office.

No. These items must be put away as soon as you enter the building. We strongly suggest that you don’t even bring them to school.
Does the school have a dress code?
Yes. Students should dress in a modest fashion. Shorts and skirts must be no more than 3 inches above the knee. Revealing shirts (low-cut, halters, spaghetti strap, etc.) or shirts with obscene or other inappropriate words or images can not be worn.

8th Graders Celebrate Women's History Month - Perseverance Essay Contest
In celebration of Women's History Month (March), the Boston Women's Heritage Trail sponsored an essay contest. Students in Mr. Marotta's ELA class were invited to write an essay where they selected a woman in their life who made a difference to those around them, and persevered. The contest was open to all students in the Boston Public Schools, and our students did exceptionally well. Not only did we have the overall second-place winner (Pierline Durand), but we also had several honorable mentions (Melissa Nash, Brianna Miller, Vicmarys Brito, Christine Zhu, Courtney Oben, Yessica Lopez, and Alice Chan. A ceremony honoring the students was held last week at the Lila Fredericks Pilot Middle School and most of our winners appeared with their mother, and in one case her father.
