8th Graders:
All 8th-grade students will be taking the PSAT 8/9 assessment on Wednesday, December 11th, from 8:15 a.m.- 11:45 a.m. It is very important that students arrive on time for testing.
Students will be asked to turn in all electronic devices, including cell phones, during the testing time.
Students should bring a sack lunch to school but leave backpacks and other school supplies at home this day.
Students will receive scheduled breaks and a snack during testing.
After the test, students will eat lunch at school and then will be bussed to Cinemark Movie Theatre to see a private showing of Frozen II (free) at 1:00 pm. Permission slips will need to be turned in prior to December 11th. Students may bring money to purchase popcorn.
Parents will need to pick up their students from Cinemark (Cinema Point) by 3 pm.

5th-7th graders will not attend in-building classes on Wednesday, December 11th.

8th Grade Field Trip Form
Coffee with the Principal
We want to invite parents to join us for "Coffee with the Principal." A relaxed setting to have some great conversations about SSAE. We would love for you to bring questions, concerns, or suggestions about SSAE to our meeting. There are ten slots available for this meeting. We will have monthly meetings, so please only sign up once. This way we can have a new group of people each month!
We are looking forward to conversations about improving student success!
Pizza with the Principal for Middle & High School Students
Student voice matters, and so does a great lunch. Why not combine those two? I want to offer an opportunity for students to meet in a small group with me, Mr. Knoche, to share their experiences to help shape and refine the climate and culture of Springs Studio. I am looking for 12 students (different each month) to meet with me and share pizza and ideas. I will provide pizza, and you can share your ideas. Please sign up and bring ideas about how we can improve, tweak, or address certain issues at Springs Studio. This is a solution-minded get together, so you have to bring solutions if you want to see changes. I look forward to meeting with everyone.
