SHMS Family Newsletter

Greetings Stuart-Hobson community,

We are excited to have kickstarted Black History Month with our tradition of participating in recitations of speeches by famous and courageous Black Americans on the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday a couple of weeks ago. Students will continue to engage with learning and celebrations of Black history and culture this month and will maintain another tradition with a performance in early March. This coming week is also the Black Lives Matter Week of Action in Schools and we encourage everyone to find ways to take action to find ways to make the world a more just, equitable, and peaceful place.

We will come together for our monthly Town Halls on Wednesday and invite families to join us to help celebrate students for their achievements as we have officially passed the halfway point in the school year. Whether you join us or not, everyone is encouraged to focus on mid-year resolutions and adjustments so that all students can have a strong finish to the school year.

Lastly, thank you to everyone who supported our boys and girls basketball teams this year. Both teams helped us to continue building our program into a powerhouse by hosting home playoff games and advancing to the semi-finals this year. Both teams lost heartbreakers to Brookland MS on Saturday but we are so proud of our student-athletes and grateful for the support of our families, staff, and students. Congratulations to both teams for outstanding efforts this season!

I hope to see you at the LSAT meeting on Tuesday night or in-person for our Town Halls on Wednesday. Have a great week of action on purpose everyone!

Warm regards,

Eric Fraser

Principal

Thank you to Coach Robinson, Mr. Henderson, and Mr. Harvey for coaching our basketball teams this season. Both teams advanced one game further than last year in the DCIAA playoffs. We appreciate you all giving your time to support our student-athletes and an additional shout out to Mr. Strong (Athletic Director) for all of the time and energy you give to supporting all of our teams!

Shout out to Ms. Hargrove and the Attendance Team for making some mid-year outreach to students and families to make sure that all students are on track for 95% or better attendance by the end of the year. We know that school attendance directly correlates with academic success so it is important that students attend school every day!

Zearn Completion Rates (% of students completing 3+ lessons per week):

6th Grade: 23%

7th Grade: 17%

8th Grade: 19%

Reading Plus Completion Rates (% of lessons completed):

6th Grade: 11%

7th Grade: 32%

8th Grade: 33%

Research shows that students who complete at least four (4) Reading Plus lessons at 80%+ mastery and three (3) Zearn lessons are very likely to demonstrate more growth on benchmark assessments. Students who regularly meet/exceed these thresholds are likely to grow more on iReady and Reading Inventory (RI) by the end of the year. Further, performance on these assessments is likely to improve growth and performance on PARCC.

Math and literacy teachers will find different ways to build in time for students to complete Reading Plus and Zearn lessons and we encourage families to push their students to find time to complete the following on a weekly basis:

1. Students should complete at least four (4) Reading Plus lessons per week and aim for 80% or better on post-reading assessments.

2. Students should complete at least three (3) Zearn lessons per week.

Zearn and Reading Plus, which are both available on Clever, adjust the challenge level to student abilities so are one of the best ways that we can individualize challenges and supports for students. Please contact your student's Math or ELA teacher if you would like recommendations about other challenges and practice they could take on to accelerate their performance in math and literacy.

Each DCPS school conducts one fire (evacuation) and one alternate emergency drill during the first three weeks of each month. The Alternate Drill for February is Shelter-In-Place. Shelter-in-Place (For use to protect building occupants from potential dangers in the building or outside, i.e., gas or chemical release.)

If anyone has questions about preparedness or emergency procedures they may contact Mr. Howard, devin.howard@k12.dc.gov

We have limited spaces available for our GW Math Tutoring Program this Spring. Students who participate will attend tutoring twice per week from 3:30-4:30pm and work on math skills to prepare for PARCC and other grade level tests. We have spaces available on the following sessions:

• Tuesday/Thursday
• Tuesday/Friday

Students who attend GW tutoring are expected to attend both days each week, and must be able to attend 90% or more of the sessions in in order to successfully complete the program. Tutoring will last from the end of January until the end of May.

Please email our math department head Ms. Rosera directly at Bethany.Rosera@k12.dc.gov if you are interested in signing up for tutoring.

Stuart-Hobson MS is celebrating Black History month with a variety of class and extracurricular activities. Students are invited to perform and parents are invited to attend our Black History Month program on Friday, March 3rd at 2:15pm. If you would like to learn more about Black History Month at SHMS, please contact AP Turner.

Current NJHS students were invited to meet during their designated lunch periods on December 1, 2022 to discuss upcoming membership season, service projects, etc.

We are excited to kick-off the SY 22-23 recruitment period. Students who have earned a 3.75 GPA or better in all core courses for Term 1 are invited to attend an information session on Tuesday, December 6, 2022 during their designated lunch periods. During this meeting students will view a presentation outlining the requirements for membership. Each student will be allowed 48 business hours to discuss this information with parents and either accept or decline the invitation for membership.

7th grade students who decline the invitation will be eligible to receive an invitation next school year.

8th grade students who decline the invitation are encouraged to seek out the National Honor Society at the high school of their choice.

We look forward to working with your scholar this school year.

Best,

Co-Sponsors, SHMS NJHS

It brings us great pride to announce that one of our school’s signature programs will be returning. Because of the hiatus that the pandemic put on this tradition, we are collaborating with the PTA to offer students in all grade levels the opportunity to participate in Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama in 2023. Typically, we take our incoming 6th grade class, but we want to accommodate students who missed this great opportunity during the past two years.

As the weather has cooled off, we want to remind everyone that students are not allowed inside the school building after 3:30 PM unless they are participating in supervised, school-approved activity. If students do not have practice until later in the afternoon they should not wait in the building unsupervised for practice to begin, instead, they should leave at dismissal and return for their practice. Activity sponsors are responsible for student supervision anytime students are on campus or in the building after-school and in the evenings.

Additionally, please remember that because of space and supervision constraints, students may only attend athletic events as spectators if they are accompanied by a parent or guardian who will be responsible for them while they attend the event.

Unless in use for athletic events, students and families should plan for after-school entry and pick-up to occur at the main entrance at 410 E Street NE.

Thank you all for working with us to maintain a safe school community and after-school programming.

Please use this link to register for the SHMS chapter of We The Girls!

This is a reminder that the school's Lost and Found is located in the main lobby. Currently, there are quite a few unclaimed items, including many jackets and other warm weather gear, that we have located since the beginning of Term 2. Per our school policy, we collaborate with the PTA to donate any unclaimed clothing at the end of each term. All remaining clothing and belongings in the Lost and Found will be moved and prepared for the Term 2 donation on Friday, February 17.

Any items lost and found after February 17th will be placed in the Lost & Found in the main lobby throughout Term 3.

If your student is missing anything, or you recognize any clothing in the recent photos below, please stop by or encourage your student to check the lost and found and retrieve their belongings.

We hope that all students finish the term strong and pass all of their classes with high levels of success. As the term wraps up we want to remind everyone of some key policies and deadlines.

January 24: This is the last instructional day of the term for students.

January 25: This is the last day of the term and all work must be turned in by 11:59:59 PM to count towards current term marks.

January 25-February 1: Teachers will grade all work and finalize student marks in Aspen.

February 3-10: Report cards will be prepared and mailed home. They will also become visible in Aspen during this time period.

"WS" Marks - Any assignment with a grade of "WS" (Waiting for Submission) has not yet been turned in and graded. Students have through the end of the term to hand in any late or missing work and the highest grade that late assignments will receive is a "B".

Aspen - Aspen is the official record of student academic performance. While other platforms (Canvas, Reading Plus, Zearn, etc.) may include information about student performance and growth, Aspen houses their attendance, lists of assignments, and grades. Please remember that teachers have up 10 days from when an assignment is turned in until a grade must be posted for that assignment in Aspen.

Grade Appeals - Families and students may appeal student marks AFTER receiving their student's report card. If you believe that a term/final mark was is inaccurate because of a miscalculation or unfairly calculated you can appeal to a counselor or administrator within two weeks of receiving the report card.

We encourage everyone to use the referral QR codes above to connect students with our school mental health team at any time throughout the year. Also, attached to the newsletter is a document outlining DCPS' approach to school mental health programs and support. If you have any questions please reach out to a school counselor, social worker, psychologist, or administrator.

We are excited for the return to frequent academic and incentive field trips and excursions with students! As communicated to students during our most recent Town Halls, field trips are a privilege and opportunity to deepen learning and community connections. As such, we expect students to meet certain criteria to maintain eligibility for trips. Please note that students may not participate in a trip if they do not meet all of the following criteria:

• Passing ALL classes
• In-seat Attendance (ISA) is 90%+
• Fewer than 5 tardies (late arrival) to class per month
• Zero Tier 3-5 behavior infractions
• Fewer than 3 behavior referrals in term (or previous month)
• Mandatory testing (e.g. iReady, RI, etc.) complete

Administrators and teacher teams will review student eligibility prior to any scheduled trips. Please reach out to a grade-level administrator or field trip organizer with any questions about your student's participation or eligibility.

This SY22-23 Impact Aid Survey is available starting November 1, 2022. Each year, DCPS asks all families to complete the Impact Aid survey to generate additional federal funds for DCPS.

Lost/Stolen DCPS Technology

If your student's DCPS laptop is lost or stolen, email Ms. Tomlinson at jennie.tomlinson@k12.dc.gov immediately. Notification of lost or stolen technology must be provided to the school in writing. Phone calls or a conversation with a teacher or other staff member does not count as official notification of a lost or stolen item.

For stolen devices, you must file a police report and send a copy to jennie.tomlinson@k12.dc.gov. After the police report is received, DCPS will activate location tracking on the stolen device.

For lost devices, there is a waiting period before the school issue a replacement. Starting from the date the school receives written notification that a device is missing, the waiting period is 10 business days for a replacement laptop and 5 business days for a replacement charger or keyboard. During the waiting period, the student must diligently search the school each day, including in classrooms and common spaces like the gym and cafeteria. Most missing laptops turn up after a proper search. If the missing items have not been located after the waiting period, the student's parent or guardian must out to Ms. Tomlinson to schedule an appointment to sign the paperwork for a replacement.

Damaged Devices

Most accidental damage is covered under warranty. If a student's laptop is damaged, they should see Ms. Tomlinson in the library during first period or after school.

Technology Support at School

Ms. Tomlinson is available for technology support during first period (9:00 am - 10:10 am) and after school from 3:30 - 3:45 pm. Students must obtain a pass from their teacher in order to visit the library for tech support.

Technology Support at Home

Students and parents may call the DCPS Help Desk at 202-442-5715 for assistance outside school hours.

School uniforms are required while on school property, field trips (before or after school day hours), while attending After School All Stars and school-approved activities after 3:30 PM, unless athletic, dance or other specific apparel is required by the coach/leader.

Uniforms include:

o Long or short-sleeved solid red polo shirt/t-shirt. SHMS logo optional. Any non-SHMS logo on uniform shirts or sweatshirts must be the size of a $1 bill (1 dollar) or smaller

o Plain black cotton sweatshirts (front zip or pullover) and knit vests. No hoods.

o Khaki pants, skirts/shorts, worn at waist level.

o Comfortable closed-toed shoes or sneakers covering the entire foot. No sandals, slippers, or Crocs.

o Tops like crewneck t-shirts, sweaters, and sweatshirts (no hoods) that show school pride (e.g. SHMS or CHCS logos).

While students may wear some of the following to and from school, they are expected to avoid wearing all of the following during the school day, on trips, and in after-school activities:

• Hoods over student's heads while inside school,

• Outerwear like jackets, fleeces, parkas, windbreakers, etc.,

• Metal studs on headbands and other accessories

• Khaki-colored leggings/ tights (worn in place of Khaki pants).

• Small purses or fanny packs

An SHMS logo is NOT required for any uniform attire. School uniforms may be purchased via Lands End, Target, Old Navy and other retailers. More information regarding our school uniform policy will be shared via our school handbook.

Uniform Non-Compliance Policy

Students should comply with the uniform policy daily. Uniform policy violations can be documented in Live School. Some uniform deficiencies can be remedied by the support team but the loss of instructional time should be avoided when supporting students in complying with the policy. If for some reason a student is out of compliance in your classroom you may reach out to a grade-level administrator or dean for support or remedy. Patterns of infractions should be handled like other Tier 1 and 2 infractions outlined above in the “Disciplinary Policy” section.

Teachers, staff, and administrators will be monitoring adherence to the following policies as students return from the Winter Recess:

1. Crewneck / V-Neck sweaters and sweatshirts: Students may wear crewneck / V-neck sweaters or sweatshirts that are solid RED, BLACK, or WHITE. Sweaters and sweatshirts in those colors with a logo smaller than a dollar bill are also acceptable.

2. School gear: Students may wear sweaters, sweatshirts, t-shirts (long / short sleeved), and polos that display the school logo. The dollar-bill size logo is waived for clothing showing school / Cluster pride.

3. Not Allowed: There is no change to the policy on other colors, outerwear, or hoodies. Outerwear, hoodies, and shirts that are not red/black/white are NOT ALLOWED to be worn during the school day.

4. Lockers: Students are expected to visit their lockers four times a day - before school, before lunch, after lunch, and at the dismissal bell. Outerwear (may be retrieved for outdoor recess before lunch and returned after lunch) and backpacks should remain in lockers throughout the day.

Failure to adhere to the above policies will result in redirections, student conferences, parent conferences, and the temporary confiscation of belongings that are out of compliance with the policy.

Aspen Family Portal

Returning families should be able to access their account using their username and password from last school year. New families will receive an email from Aspen Family Portal when their family portal account is available to use.

The Portal allows you to keep up with progress in school - including grades, assignments, attendance, and more. The goal of DCPS' new digital portal is to create an open line of communication between home and school.

To Access the Portal:
1. Visit https://aspen.dcps.dc.gov
2. Make sure pop-up blocking is disabled for your browser
3. Your user name will be provided via email
4. Your temporary password will be provided via email
NOTE: Both user name and password are case sensitive
5. Click Log On to access the system. You will be prompted to fill out some information to change your password so that in the future you can click "I forgot my password" to receive a new password.

How to Navigate the Portal:
This flyer gives you the Parent Portal basics:

• What you need to know about the Parent Portal
• Lo que necesita saber sobre el Portal de Padres

We strongly recommend that families using iOS devices also download the "Grade Corner" app, which allows you to login to Aspen and monitor your student's grades and attendance in a streamlined app. The app was actually developed by an SHMS parent a few years ago.

Additionally, we will discuss student schedules during the family information sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday and hope you can join us for one of those virtual meetings!

DCPS is an inclusive school community and makes every effort to support all students. Below and attached are resources for LGBTQ+ youth, their families, and allies. We are grateful that Mr. Thrift is our liaison for this work at SHMS. Our Panther Pride club has resumed their meetings and you should expect more information in upcoming newsletters.

Please feel free to reach out to Mr. Thrift (contact information below) to support a student in building a relationship with this support network.

While some students regularly receive scheduled counseling and support from the many members of our mental health team, we want to remind everyone that all students are eligible to check-in with a social worker or counselor on an as needed basis too. If at any point in the school year you think that your student would benefit from the opportunity to meet or speak with a member of our team, please reach out to them directly or connect with a grade level administrator. We often help students navigate hardships like loss, grief, and change individually and in groups. Please reach out to a member of the team at any time if you would like to learn more!
