Happy Tuesday Middle School Parents/Guardians:
Report cards went home Monday, October 24, 2022 with those students whose parents/guardians did not make it to parent teacher conferences night Thursday, October 20th.
If your child failed any subject on their report card, please contact the teacher for information about how your child can recover their grade for the 1st quarter. After school tutoring in English Language Arts, math, and 6th grade science is available 3:30-5:30 Monday-Thursday with available transportation.
Note: If your student does not have homework each night, they can always work in their customized learning paths in iReady. Each student is required to have 1 hour of active participation in their learning paths for math and reading plus pass 2 lessons in each of the subjects weekly. Many students are behind in the number of lessons and time they should have by now since the first week in September. Please help us keep students on track with their learning.
