Attention all 8th Grade Parents and Students,
Our 8th grade students will take (2) Standards of Learning Tests this week using their Chromebooks. All students will take the Multiple Choice Writing Test on Tuesday, March 14th. Additionally, all 8th grade students will complete the Short Paper Writing SOL Test on Thursday March 16th.
We need your help! Please ensure your child gets a good night's sleep as well as a nutritious breakfast. Also, it is imperative on both days that your child bring a fully charged Chromebook with the charger to school.
Thank you for your support in making sure students are prepared this week!
Congratulations to the 7th and 8th grade orchestra groups, as well as the 7th and 8th grade band groups! All four of these groups of musicians earned Superior ratings from the Virginia Band and Orchestra Directors Association! Many thanks to Ms. Eaton and Ms. Foster for all of their hard work and passion. These students have worked extremely hard and this is a well deserved honor. Chorus assessments are later this week and we wish them the best!

She draws on her experience as a corporate coach and an extensive background in psychology and sociology to address the tricky topics of divorce, coparenting and blended families. She writes about her modern-day Brady Bunch adventures at www.thislifeinprogress.com. Her work has been featured on SheKnows.com, Today Parenting Team, BLUNTMoms, Scary Mommy, Huffington Post, and Stepparent Magazine. When she’s not writing, she’s feeding and watering the children, and turning off lights in empty rooms.
Below is an article regarding internet safety and families. Parents, we are still experiencing many of our young scholars making poor decisions regarding the internet and social media. Please take the time to review and check your child's phone/device and have a conversation with her/him regarding internet safety.
