Words can not express how happy we are that your child is in one of the best clusters Pershing Middle School has to offer, Cluster 7-1! Cluster 7-1, Home of the Lucky Clubs, meets several times per week for our Operation Success, Motivating Minds, and Professional Development meetings to ensure that your child is getting the best education possible.
The 7th grade level has seven core values known as the Lucky 7. These core values all revolve around RESPECT. Our core values are as follows:
R | ead and write daily. |
E | levate your mind. |
S | tudy, study, study. |
P | articipate in the learning process. |
E | ncourage your classmates to achieve our goals. |
C | all on someone when you need help. |
T | urn in all assigned work on time |
These core values are extremely important to our cluster, and we will hold your child accountable for meeting or exceeding these expectations. With your help, this will be easy for your child to do. So come on, let's make this a great year!
Be sure to check your child's teacher's individual website periodically for updates on assignments, tests, projects, announcements, and much more.
