Dear Parents,
Although we have just started 2016, the month of February is
full of various important events. We
have parent/teacher conferences, an in-service day, and a national holiday.
Our opportunity to meet with parents/guardians is very important. We look forward to spending time with each of
you regarding your child. If you do not
attend a conference on Wednesday, February 10th or Thursday, February 11th,
please remember the channels of communication with your child’s teacher (email
or voicemail). Please continue checking
student progress on Infinite Campus (IC).
Please note the
following important dates and events during the month of February:
Wednesday,
February 10th Parent
/ Teacher Conferences: 5-8 p.m. (School
is in session)
Thursday,
February 11th Parent/Teacher
Conferences: 1-3:30 p.m. and
4:30-7:30 p.m.
(School is NOT in session)
Friday,
February 12th Teacher
In-Service Day- No Students, No School
Monday,
February 15th No School, President’s Day
Keep in mind
Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) is in
the month of March. The PARCC dates will
be mid to late March. The PARCC scores
help determine placement in future classes during the middle and high school
years, as well as a reference point in determining instructional needs and
abilities. It is extremely important
that your child is in attendance and on time every day of PARCC testing. Please talk with your child about the
importance of PARCC. Many research
studies have indicated student success starts off with a healthy
breakfast. Please make sure your child
has breakfast every morning of testing.
Thank you
for your continued support and involvement with your child’s middle school
experience!
Sincerely,
Susie
Wickham
Principal
