This Week's Snapshot...
Thank you for a wonderful first half of this semester. After this week I am really hopeful that winter has officially ended and that Spring is in the air! Please enjoy the next two weeks off. School will resume on April 3rd!
At success time this month, we honored a group of students who have surpassed expectations in our Kickin' It Math program, earning black belts in two or more categories! Congratulations to these ninja masters: Lucas Steen, Hayden Lair, Jacob Mills, Dakota Knight, & Addison Cole. All students who earn black belt status will earn an EXTRA SPECIAL reward for field day! Stay tuned after Spring Break to find out more!
Until April,
Mrs. Gordon
PS: Parents of 6th Graders
Decatur Middle School SLC notification postcards will be mailed to current 6th graders during Spring Break. With the postcard, you will know your SLC for next school year. Also, on this postcard, is an invitation to our 7th Grade Orientation. This is mandatory for both students and at least one parent. We will be offering two sessions on Thursday, July 27 at either 9 a.m. or 6 p.m. Later this school year, you will be sent a link to register for one of the two sessions. Our hope is that this orientation session will alleviate some of the anxiety and uncertainty-- for both students and parents-- that comes with making the middle school transition. We are excited to offer this to you. At the conclusion of the session, your child will be issued his/her iPad.
