MSA Parent Update
December 20, 2018
As we enter our winter break, we hope that everyone gets some time to relax, rejuvenate, and spend time with family and friends this holiday season. .
Check out what is going on here at the school:
Winter Break
Report Cards - Second Quarter
Winter Break Suggestion - Keep Reading
Just a friendly reminder, your child should be completing a minimum of 2 Teen Biz Articles per week at home in addition to the articles they complete at school. A score of 75% or above will ensure their lexiles will increase. Our school wide goal is for each student enrolled in the Teen Biz Program to complete 40 + articles before the end of first semester.
Thank you for your continued support as we prepare for the FSA exam this Spring.
ATTENTION MIDDLE SCHOOL PARENTS
Starting Tuesday, January 8, 2019, any Middle School student who is late to school must be signed in by their parents. You will need to park your car and walk into the school to sign your child into school.
