Thank you for visiting the weekly MS Missives on a regular basis. We appreciate your efforts to keep up to date with what is going on in the Middle School.
A big thank you to those of you who were able to attend our first Family Connection Chat last Thursday. Our topic was "Hey What Happened To My GPA." This was an introductory conversation to begin a dialogue about what we...parents, teachers, students... want to see on student report cards.
To begin the discussion we viewed the first 8 mins. of the video clip below:
We will continue to have discussions on this topic and will plan more evening Family Connection Chats in the future so all parents have a chance to participate in the discussion.
I appreciated the honest, straightforward communication we were able to have regarding this topic.
- Power School is now open to all students and parents with information relating to quarter 2.
- Tomorrow we will celebrate our MS students and their contributions to our MS hallways. All students are invited to share in a donut treat as we recognize students and their contributions to our MS environment thus far this year--whether it be through academic achievement, participation in activities, random acts of kindness-we are all contributors!!
- Last week ACS MS students were fortunate to hear about an inspirational speaker, Nick Vujicic, who will be in Amman next week.....see the link below:
