Dear Parents,
We hope that you had an enjoyable
spring break. All Shadow Ridge Middle
School staff members would like to thank you for your support through the state
testing (PARCC) in the areas of literacy, writing, and math. We are required to test 7th grade
in the content of social studies and 8th grade in the content of
science through CMAS (Colorado Measure of Academic Success) in April. All of these tests will be assessed on the
computer. The tests will run throughout
April and May, more specifically April 14th through April 18th. An auto-dialer and an email will be sent out
after spring break reminding parents and students of the upcoming
assessments. Having students eat
breakfast will prepare them for assessments.
Thank you for your partnership in helping our students do their very
best on the PARCC and CMAS tests and for assisting us in our continual goal of
increasing achievement for all students.
It is that time of the year when we
start planning for year-end events. We
hope to see you at school on April 23, 24, and 25 for the performances of "This
is Just to Say”. Many musical
performances for all grades in choir, band, and orchestra will be held in
May. Our awards ceremony will be the
last day of school for your student(s).
If your student is an eighth grader, the last day of school will be
Tuesday, May 26th. Eighth grade celebrations will be the morning of May 26th. If your student is a sixth or seventh grader,
the last day of school will be Wednesday, May 27th. The last day for sixth and seventh graders
will conclude at 12 Noon. The award
ceremonies for sixth and seventh graders will be at one of three designated
times on May 27th. Parent(s) of award
recipients will be contacted by phone.
We have had the opportunity to enjoy
some warm, sunny weather this spring.
Please remind your student(s) of the District 12 School Dress Code
Policy. Here are some of the frequent
infractions we observe. For girls: Shirts must cover the shoulder, spaghetti
straps, tank tops and halter tops are prohibited. Shirts with revealing
necklines or armholes or exposed undergarments are prohibited. Skirts or shorts must be fingertip length
when arms are resting at sides. For
boys: all attire should be sized to fit
without exposing undergarments, and buttocks.
Students are not allowed to “sag.”
Thank you for reviewing the district policy with your child and
supporting our school to maintain the focus of academics.
We are extremely proud of all our
students and their accomplishments at Shadow Ridge and beyond! In February, Jade Cash, an eighth (8th) grader, won the Shadow
Ridge Spelling Bee. SRMS finished 3rd place out of a field of 17
schools at the Math Counts North Metro Area competition. The SRMS Team consisted of Codi Li, Colton
Snyder, Jonathan Kelly, and AJ Gurien. Please
congratulate the team and Cody Li,
who finished 2nd and Colton Snyder who finished 6th at the Math Counts North Metro
Area competition.
Congratulations to these students for their outstanding accomplishments!
Thank you for your continued support
of your child’s achievement and support of SRMS!
Sincerely,
Susie Wickham
Principal
