Dear Parents,
We hope
that you are experiencing an enjoyable spring!
All Shadow Ridge Middle School staff members would like to thank you for
your support through the state testing (CMAS) in the areas of literacy,
writing, and math. We are required to
test 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. 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 students for assessments. Thank you for your partnership in helping
our students do their very best on the 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. Many musical performances for all grades in
choir and band will be held in May. Our
awards ceremony will be the last day of school for your student. If your student is an eighth grader, the last
day of school will be Tuesday, May 22nd.
Eighth grade celebrations and Superstars field day will be on Tuesday. If your student is a sixth or seventh grader,
the last day of school will be Wednesday, May 23rd. The last day for sixth and seventh graders
will conclude at 2:15 p.m. (early release day). The award ceremonies for sixth and seventh
graders will be scheduled throughout the day on May 23rd. 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 January, Johnny Serna, a seventh (7th)
grader, won the Shadow Ridge Spelling Bee.
Larissa Steiner (8th grader) won second place and Ezri Lopes(6th
grader) won third place at the SRMS Spelling Bee. Johnny finished third and Larissa finished
in the top 15 in the District 12 Spelling Bee, both students earned a chance to
participate in the state spelling bee. SRMS Math Counts Team
participated in numerous competitions throughout the school year. Congratulations to Corvyn Register (8th
grader) for scoring 22nd out of over 100 students at the Math Counts
district finals and qualifying for the Colorado State Math Counts Competition,
a great achievement! 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
