Dear Middle School Parents and Students,
As we move into our October break I wanted to just take a moment to go over a few pieces of information and reminders regarding upcoming items pertaining to Middle School.
Week Without Walls - Next week you will receive an initial communication from Ms. Daniel regarding the Middle School Week Without Walls trip offerings. In that email you will find a link to the WWW website that describes the potential trip offerings. Please take a moment during the break to go over that information with your child and begin to discuss what are some realistic options for your child. The actual WWW trips will be in March but we need to begin the process now for logistical reasons.
Parent/Teacher Conferences - PTCs will be held online on October 17 & 18. More information will come after break. Like last year, we will be using Microsoft Teams as our conferencing platform. Please refer to prior PTC email communications if you need more information on how to sign up to meet your child's teacher.
MAP Test Results - You have received an email from the MS office regarding your child’s MAP test report. Please refer to the body of that email for a description of how to interpret the results. Please remember that scores sometimes fluctuate due to a variety of factors and that no singular data point tells the whole story. We want to look at MAP result trends over the years that a student takes these assessments. Please reach out to Mr. Schroeder with any questions you might have.
I pray that you all have a blessed October break and Mid-Autumn Festival celebration.
Blessings,
Will Schroeder
Middle School Principal
