In Case You Missed It:
Check in data was shared with 6th grade math and reading teachers and 7th grade reading teachers on Friday. 8th grade reading and math and 7th grade math benchmarks will be mailed on Tuesday and should be back by the following week. All science scores can be seen in SchoolNet and Mastery Connect.
Thank you to those that volunteered to work the gate on Monday for the tournament basketball game. Elizabeth Holland and Katie Kline will be selling tickets for us. Tournament games have different ticket prices based off of conference guidelines. All tickets are $5 and no one is allowed in free except administrators, athletic directors, players, cheerleaders, mascots, and coaches. School badges and season passes will not get anyone in the game for free. Our girls will be playing at West while West Lee boys will be playing at SanLee. Teams that win on Monday will play for the championship game on Tuesday.
Bev Marshburn started back on Tuesday after her knee surgery in November. If you haven't welcomed her back, make sure to stop by and say hello!
Our new school nurse, Chris Novack will officially begin Monday, February 5 but will be the area Monday, January 29 and stopping by SLMS at some point. Glenda will continue to be at SanLee for the next couple of weeks ensuring we are taken care of and helping Chris get acclimated with SanLee. We have been so fortunate to have Glenda! Please make sure to let her know how much she has helped the last few weeks. She shared with me how friendly and kind everyone had been and how well mannered our kids have been :)
