Parent Newsletter Update
Week of September 28
Hello Red Devils!
We hope this message finds you well. As of now, you should have received a paper copy of your child's progress report. Please sign and return to their homeroom teacher. We will begin Benchmark testing on Oct. 1st.
We had difficulties with our Parent Night due to hackers. This affected 7th and 8th grade sessions. The link to the Zoom was shared on Social Media to try and promote the event so that parents were aware of the meeting, but unfortunately it also allowed outside visitors access to our meeting. This is not our normal process; we wanted to gain more parent participation and was trying all possibilities to reach our parents.
Please know, that type of language and disrespect is not indicative of China Grove Middle School, its staff or its students in any way. We are looking into this matter further and are making efforts to assure that it does not happen again. For future meetings, we will be certain to ensure that any security issues that may arise will be addressed beforehand.
We have attached the links to the Parent Nights with this email.
This week's newsletter contains the following:
- Book Fair
- Service Above Self
- PTA
- Parent Night Google Slides
We hope you have a great week and thank you for your continued partnership throughout the 20-21 school year!
With RED DEVIL PRIDE,
Dr. Baldwin
