The Dragon Archery Team will be starting in January. Practice dates and times will be announced when we come back to school. Anyone wanting to participate will need to have a KHSAA Sports Physical. You will not be able to attend practice until you have turned in your physical to Mr. Waldo.

Parents, please complete the survey linked below and assist us in gathering information regarding the positive behavior interventions used in our school. The collected data will be used to reflect upon and improve the processes and interventions we currently have in place and allow us to make changes to best serve your child's needs.

Please contact the school at 270-843-0166 if you have any questions or concerns regarding this survey.

Teen Angel Christmas Assistance Program was a huge success! Special thanks to everyone who sponsored a child for Christmas and to the Beta Club for hosting a food drive to feed the families.

YSC Needs

Youth Service Center is needing gently used or new coats our students that need coats. You can drop at the school or contact Mrs. Vincent in the YSC.

This week, your student is learning about real-world situations that use percent increase and percent decrease, such as tax, interest, mark-up, and discounts.

For example, the price tag on a jacket says $24. The customer must also pay a sales tax equal to 7.5% of the price. What is the total cost of the jacket, including tax?

24⋅1.075=25.80

The customer will pay 107.5% of the price listed on the tag, which is $25.80.

We can also find the percentage. For example, a backpack originally cost $22.50, but is on sale for $18.99. The discount is what percentage of the original price?

22.50xxx=18.99=18.99÷22.50=0.844

The sale price is 84.4% of the original price. The discount is 100−84.4, or 15.6% of the original price.

Here is a task to try with your student:

A restaurant bill is $18.75. If you paid $22, what percentage tip did you leave for the server?

Solution:

17.3⎯⎯⎯%. Possible strategy: You paid 117.3⎯⎯⎯% of the bill, because 22÷18.75=1.173⎯⎯⎯. You left a 17.3⎯⎯⎯% tip, because 117.3⎯⎯⎯−100=17.3⎯⎯⎯

We are still needing parents to volunteer to serve on the PTSO. You don't have to give up a large amount of your time but anything you can do would help. Please text Patricia at 502-641-0454 and let her know. You can also email her at Mossptso@yahoo.com. Like our page on FB at HenryMossMiddlePTSO and follow us on Instagram at MossPTSO.

Located at 2565 Russellville Road in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Henry F. Moss Middle School is named for the former chairman of the Warren County Board of Education and longtime supporter of education, Henry F. Moss. Our team of dedicated and enthusiastic teachers and administrators is proud to carry on that tradition of educating the children of Warren County. We serve 500-600 seventh and eighth graders and offer regular, advanced, resource, and English as a Second Language courses. Advanced students have the opportunity to take algebra, geometry, and biology. The library media center has 13,000 books available for students. Every classroom is equipped with a Promethean ActivBoard (i.e. "smart board), and a complement of technology that enables teachers to create interactive lessons. Teachers may also use a variety of technology in their classes including laptops, iPods, and iPads. In order to help students succeed, we are fortunate to have a Family Youth Resource Services center where coordinator Lynn Vincent assists students and their families with a variety of resources that students might need to be successful in school.
