Time to Celebrate
Thunderbird Families,
Welcome to Week 7 of the 4th quarter! It is also Teacher Appreciation Week! We hope some of our families will send a message of gratitude to any teachers that you know are supporting your child's development in impactful ways!
- We are administering the iREADY end of year math assessment on Monday and Tuesday this week in advisory. We will run a morning assembly schedule to accommodate our testing needs. Please be on time and bring your school computer and charger daily.
- The Algebra I MAKE-UP placement exam will be held from 9-11am on Wednesday, 5/8 for those who signed up and did not take it last week.
- It is has been a loooonnnnngggg time since Covid but we finally get to send the future Class of 2028 to a Chihuahua's game to celebrate their completion of middle school. Many thanks to the teachers and parents that made this experience possible. As an extra reward for those who are eligible to attend, students may take their cell phones, with parent permission, to capture memories. This is a one time privilege! Please encourage your child not to abuse it or it will affect future classes. We will email parents of students that did not wish to participate or are ineligible to attend on Tuesday, 5/7.
- 7th grade is planning a field day for their grade level to be held on Friday, May 17th. Please see the image below for guidelines and contact information if you are willing to volunteer!
- STUGO is planning the 8th grade dance. Please contact Ms Perez-Luna if you are able to volunteer (mperezluna@lcps.net)
- Friendly reminder that we do not accept fast food deliveries for kiddos in the office.
- Friday, 5/10 is the annual Staff v. Student basketball game. The price of admission is $2. We will sale tickets at lunch W-F. Students that are removed from class for being disruptive, walk out without permission, or have discipline this week will not be allowed to attend. We follow an afternoon assembly schedule on this day. Go Thunderbirds!
- This is our final week of BUG for this school year. It will meet M-Th.
- Progress reports should come home this week.
- If your child will not be here for final exams on 5/28 and 5/29, we need to know by Monday, 5/13. A form is available in the office. Students will take early exams on 5/23 and 5/24 if you do not plan to send them back after Memorial Day.
