Message from Dr. Frischkorn

Good Evening Mayfield!

Hispanic Heritage Month begins on September 15. National Hispanic Heritage Month traditionally honors the cultures and contributions of both Hispanic and Latino Americans as we celebrate heritage rooted in all Latin American countries.

Did you know that 436 Mayfield Intermediate School students shared that Spanish is their native language? That is an awesome statistic that again highlights the diverse community that we get to celebrate with every day that we come to school. We are fortunate to live in such a dynamic community that consists of people from worldwide.

We are extremely fortunate to have the talented Ms. Herrera as a staff member. She created several videos highlighting the many Hispanic heritage favorites that can be found throughout our amazing city.

Here’s some local footage to spark conversation in your bobcat block, if you’d like to use it.

Fall Growth Assessment

Students have completed one day of the Student Growth Assessments. On Tuesday, all our students will complete the other student growth assessment. We want to thank the teachers and the students for working so hard to make sure that we could complete the student growth assessments without causing too much of a disruption to the learning environment.

Mayfield Test Date:

Tuesday, September 21

5th Grade-All students are taking the math Growth Assessment

Students will be participating in a Fall Growth Assessment created by the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) and will be administered between September 13-24. These assessments will help educators at the school determine the needed instructional supports that each student requires. Please read the attached letter from Dr. Goldzung, Director of Assessment and Accountability for Manassas City Public Schools. The letter is translated into Spanish as well.
