Our students have completed Exact Path diagnostic testing. They assessed on English/Language Arts/Reading & Math. They now focus on individual learning paths based on their own levels of mastery. The Exact Path program assigns them lessons and activities based on their individual levels on mastery. Each students should complete 14 competencies in English/Reading & Math over the course of the 1st semester. Have your students login at home and show you where they are on their grade level lessons and activities. (Edmentum Exact Path)

RTI teachers run missing assignment reports for their students. This process is a focus weekly. The students receive a weekly reward for NO missing assignments! Parents/Guardians can login at any time to see grades & assignments.

If any students have two or more failing grades we will have family discussions, and/or communication. Coaches are also running reports and keep track of their athletes. If any student-athletes have two or more failing grades they are not eligible to participate in contests. (See Student Handbook/MSHSSA regulations)

We were able to have our gym floor refinished this summer. Please be advised that we have developed policy around using our new gym floor. No food or drink is allowed in the gym. Students should wear non-marking sole tennis shoes on the floor. This policy is posted in the gym, and will be discussed with our students. Clothes worn in PE need to follow the school dress code. You can find the dress code policy in the handbook.

Middle School sports have begun. (See sports schedules below)

OCTOBER: RESPONSIBILITY

Being responsible means that we make good choices, even when no one is looking.

We make good choices just because it is right and not because we will get credit

or praise. Responsible people do their part. They show self-control. They think

before they act or speak. They work hard and don’t take credit for other people’s work.

Responsible people do their best and admit their own mistakes. Work to make responsible

choices this month!
