Volunteers Needed

Currently we are not in need of volunteers until we get closer to the end of our school year. At that time we will be looking mostly for volunteers to help with graduation and our trip to Busch Gardens.

Every Thursday the communication folder will come home. In addition, from time to time, you will receive tests to be signed and notices about volunteer opportunities.  Please ask your child about these items, read and sign promptly.  If you haven't seen the following items, take a look in the bookbag and ask your child about the whereabouts of these items.
 

  • Current Correspondance:
  • March for Life permission slips

    Class of 2000 News

    The big news for the third quarter is The Twentieth Century: A Time to Remember project. By now, we hope all parents and guardians have reviewed the research portfolio guidelines sent home. It is a major research project that will be a valuable experience for the students as they head to high school in a few months.

    March for Life is coming up on March 24th and report cards will be issued on January 25th for the 8th graders.

    Keep up the good communication with your child by asking often about the year they are researching and perhaps you can add an antecdote or two to their research from your personal experiences.

    Working with Middle School Students

    "What happens to an individual during early adolescence really matters. The behavior patterns established tend to be sustained into adulthood. Early adolescence is a time when individuals become hopeful about their futures and act positively to make a difference, or become hopeless and act negatively in response to their anger and depression. They learn how to cultivate relationships and see the power of positive role models, or they end up crushing relationships and become influenced by negative role models. They learn that school is meaningful and, thus, a worthwhile endeavor, or they push away from it as unconnected and unimportant to their lives. It is therefore critical that caring adults, especially teachers [and parents], make strong connections to young adolescents."

    quoted from Working with Middle School Students by Laura P. Stowell, Francisco A. Rios, Janet E. McDaniel, and Patricia A. Christopher. (1996, Teacher Created Materials, Inc.)
