Things to Be Aware of:
- Continue to turn in your box tops to your team leaders. The last day for students to turn them in will be Friday, May 4th. Thanks!
- Student Council elections will be starting soon. Please see the dates above for general scheduling. For your information, there will be two representatives elected for Thunder Ridge from RMMS, four representatives (9th grade President, Vice President, Secretary, and Activity Leader) elected for Bonneville, and six positions for Rocky Mountain (President, Vice President, Secretary, Public Relations, Treasurer, and Cheer Representative).
- With Parent and Teacher Conferences upon us, we will be tweaking the conferences a few different ways once more based on the feedback we received from parents and community members. Teachers will continue to be in their classrooms (or right outside their doors) rather than in the gym. This helps us to maintain privacy and keep lines from congesting. Student grades and schedules will be available in the main foyer area as done in the past. Conferences will only be held one night (April 18th) from 5:00-8:00 pm, but we are asking parents/students with a last name starting from A-F to come from 5:00-6:00 pm, G-N from 6:00-7:00 pm, and O-Z from 7:00-8:00 pm. All are still welcome to come when they are available, but we are hoping this basic scheduling will help reduce lines and waiting time. We will continue to use the BINGO sheets as we have done this year. Hope to see you there!
- We are now in the midst of ISAT time! Your child will be soon participating in these tests. The general schedule for testing will be as follows: April 12-13 (Science), April 16-20 (Math), and April 23-May 4 (Language Arts). If you have questions or concerns regarding this, please contact the district office.
- Idaho's new accountability system includes a student engagement survey. All Idaho schools will need to administer this survey to students in grades 3-8 this school year. The survey questions for middle school students can be found here. We are still working on how we will be implementing this survey, but it has been suggested that in middle school students complete it in their Language classes. The survey window will be open from April 2nd to May 31st, and more information will follow soon.
