Saturday Academic Academy Returns
Este sábado tendremos academias académicas del 8vo grado para la ciencia y la historia y los estudiantes del 7mo grado trabajarán en matemáticas. Todos los estudiantes son bienvenidos. Pedimos que los estudiantes lleguen unos 10 minutos antes de su sesión para que puedan comer algo antes de saltar a las actividades. La clase termina al mediodía y los estudiantes recibirán una merienda antes de la liberación. Gracias especiales a Shipley Donuts y Din's Pizza por patrocinar nuestros aperitivos el sábado pasado.
Awards Ceremony
La ceremonia de premiación de este año se llevará a cabo en las tardes del 15 de mayo para los alumnos de 7º y 16º para los estudiantes de 8º de 6-8 pm. Los estudiantes que son reconocidos recibirán una invitación de nuestros consejeros. Asegúrese de mantener sus horarios abiertos para este maravilloso evento.
8th grade Honors Day
Como muchos de ustedes saben, nuestros maestros del octavo grado están planeando nuestro Día Anual de Premios del 8vo Grado. Hemos recibido generosas donaciones y seguimos deseando más. Para que los estudiantes participen en el día de las actividades, deben estar en buena posición con los académicos y el comportamiento. A los estudiantes que reciben OSS durante el tiempo restante en la escuela no se les permitirá participar. Además, una DR puede incluir exclusión de actividades de fin de año. Los maestros tendrán la oportunidad de revisar la lista final de estudiantes excluidos. Por favor, hable con sus estudiantes para asegurarse de que entienden nuestra expectativa con el fin de participar en este divertido día creado sólo para ellos.
8th grade staar math and reading results
Estamos esperando nuestros resultados STAAR de la ronda de marzo de pruebas en matemáticas y lectura esta semana. Los estudiantes recibirán una notificación de su maestro de los resultados. Los padres recibirán un correo electrónico de Keller ISD que le notificará cómo obtener el informe confidencial de su estudiante. Aquellos estudiantes que estarán participando en la segunda ronda de pruebas el 8 y 9 de mayo serán notificados de las intervenciones adicionales antes de esas fechas de exámenes.
Gold Awards at The Hill
Congratulations goes out to all of our Gold Award recipients and we thank the families that were able to join us on Wednesday in recognizing their efforts. Special appreciation to PTA for providing the refreshments.
Felicidades a todos nuestros ganadores del Premio de Oro y agradecemos a las familias que pudieron unirse a nosotros el miércoles para reconocer sus esfuerzos. Agradecimiento especial a la PTA por brindar los refrescos.

AVID @ The Hill
Fossil Hill Middle School is working with Fossil Ridge High School to support the Blue Box Project, a project stemmed from an AVID Senior who had a passion for helping women who suffer from domestic violence. Sadly, this wonderful student is no longer with us, but we are working hard to make sure her efforts and kindness are continued. Help us collect items for local women shelters and spread this word to all of our community.
· Feminine products
· Shampoo/conditioner
· Soap/body wash
· Razor/shaving cream
· Deodorant
· Toothbrush/toothpaste
· Hairbrush/comb
Please like Blue Box Project on Facebook and share on social media platforms. https://www.facebook.com/blueboxprojectfrhs/
Here is the link for the Wish List page on Amazon for those loving outside the DFW area. All items will be delivered to Fossil Ridge High School AVID room. https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/giftlist/2N50WXXJRSY5L/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_4
Other ways to get involved:
· Soon, there will be Blue Box Project shirts for sale on the KISD Web Store for purchase. Order forms will also be created and I will send them home when I get them.
· Ridge will be having a raffle to give away items in which students and teachers can purchase tickets to win these prizes. If you have an item we can raffle off, we would love your help.
· Help us all spread the word through our community and further. Reach out to your churches, clubs, activity groups, friends, families, etc. and ask if they would like to help us. If anyone would like to host a location to have a Blue Box, please let me know.
· Share on social media!
· Donations of $100 or more are also being collected. Your company or business name will be added to shirts with this donation. These donations are due April 15th.
A blue Box is located in the front office for donations.
