Staff Appreciation Week!
Dear Families
Next week begins MAP testing for grades 6th - 8th grade. Below is the schedule:
- Monday, May 8th - Science 8th grade only
- Tuesday, May 9th - Math 6-8
- Wednesday, May 10th - ELA 6-8
- Thursday and Friday, May 11th -12th Make-up testing
We encourage all students to get a good night's rest the day before testing and to eat breakfast each morning as well. Please help us by making sure your child is in attendance on each of the assigned testing days in order to complete the assessments during our testing window. Also, breakfast will be free for all students on testing days.
A MAP Incentive Trip is planned for May 15th to the Family Fun Center in Bonne Terre. Students must be in attendance on the days of testing and meet the eligibility requirements for behavior in order to attend. Permission slips were handed out today. Please be sure to return along with $3.00 by May 8th. A link to the Permission Slip may be located below for your convenience.
Also below, you will find information for upcoming activities, Summer School registration, Summer Camps, and Pre-Registration for the upcoming school year.
Please be sure to contact the office, if you have any questions regarding any of the upcoming activities.
Respectfully,
Cindy Holdinghausen
Middle School Principal
