Parent Connection - September 16, 2018

Parent Resource
The article this week provides 8 tips that can be helpful when working with your child as they go through their middle school experience.

"These Are the 8 Things Every Middle School Teacher Wants Parents to Know Before School Starts" by ALESSIA SANTORO

Opportunities to get involved
We have three clubs starting up this next week.

-Literacy Club will meet on Monday after school in Mrs. Rogness' room.  This group will focus on communication.  They will help report on events happening at school, and also help organize school-wide literacy events.  

-Art Club will meet each Tuesday after school in Mrs. Crawford's room.  Students can come in and let their artistic creativity grow and shine.

-No Name Volunteers will meet each Thursday after school in Mrs. Anderson's room. Mrs. Morton has an activity planned each week that our students can get involved with to make a difference for someone else in different ways.

The Week Ahead...
-Students will begin meeting in their IE groups on Monday.  Teachers will communicate the locations for each student during class on Monday.  

-There are a couple field trips coming up...parents should be on the look-out for permission slips.  8th graders to Devil's Lake (10/3), 6th graders to the Science Festival (10/11), 7th and 8th grade golf trips coming up in October.  

-Parent-Teacher conferences are also coming up in October (10/11 and 10/18).  Please be on the lookout for a letter that will indicate your scheduled conference time and location.

-Students should be bringing their Student Handbooks home with them this week.  The Handbook can also be viewed at this LINK.  Parents should have a conversation about the handbook (school rules) and can also review the handbook with your child.  Students should return a signed "Handbook Acknowledgement Sheet" to the office.
