Check Your Grades: Welcome to the final week of Hexter 4! Students, be sure to check on Canvas and with your teachers for any missing work. You can always utilize the drop-in help sessions to get in contact with your teachers. Parents, this is a great time to check your students’ grades! You can check on your child’s progress on ParentVUE. If you have any questions, reach out to the teachers.

Chromebook Exchange: We have received our new Chromebooks! MOA students in grades 3-11 have until March 22nd to exchange their Chromebooks. Please bring your Chromebook to the MOA office at 1321 Center Drive any time between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM on weekdays.

We are so excited to introduce Ms. Eva Bartlett as MOA’s new counselor. She joined the MOA team in spring of 2023, and if you’ve ever called the office, you’ve probably spoken to her already! Ms. Eva is an incredible resource for anyone that needs academic support, has questions about college readiness, or is looking for social/emotional support.

Did You Know: Test for Credit gives you the opportunity to test out of credit recovery classes by coming to our office and taking the cumulative exam for a course. This is a great way to get caught up on missing credits!! To sign up for our next Test-for-Credit day, please visit this link: https://forms.gle/y52E67CNa6oxAnpb9

We will be offering Test-for-Credit on the following days:

March 8th

April 26th

June 7th

Presenting the winners of Ms. McHenry's Art Contest:

Applications are open through March 31. Visit selco.org/scholarships for more information and to apply.

Greetings, MOA Families!

The need for more tissues and the chorus of sneezes and sniffles tells me that Spring is definitely in the air! We have had some gorgeous Spring teaser-days, and the sun is calling us away from our tasks more often. As we well know, our work is not done yet! Now is the time to really support our students and their motivation. They are starting to see the light of summer quickly approaching, but it is still far enough off that we need to really focus to keep our eyes on what is educationally important! Spring is also a great time to host some family activities at school. Please complete this short feedback form to help us know what activities you’d like to see offered for our families.

I want to express my gratitude for the families that completed the YouthTruth family survey. We increased our family participation by 15% this year! The information we gain from YouthTruth is vital as we plan on how to best serve our students and utilize our resources next year. Thank you so much for contributing your time, thoughts, and efforts!

Please do not forget that all students in grades 3-11 need to exchange their old Chromebooks for new ones. Old Chromebooks will be disabled by the IT department in early April. Chromebooks can be exchanged at our office (1321 Center Drive) between 8:00-4:00 on school days.

Seniors that are contemplating continuing their education after graduation need to be certain they have filled out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). You can visit Studentaid.gov for more information and to complete the application. Please reach out to our counselor, Eva Bartlett, for support!

High school students: PLEASE be sure that you are accessing your social studies class in the Imagine Learning Virtual Portal (ILVP). Your social studies class (that is scheduled in your Zero Period) has a Canvas page with the link and instructions for accessing your content.

All students: please remember to have your camera on during Zoom classes. Your teachers want to see your lovely faces and having your camera on is integral to getting your attendance.

I want to give a shout out to all of our elementary and middle school students that completed their iReady mid-year assessments. Authentic completion of these assessments help our teachers better understand the learning needs of our students!

As always, thank you all for being a part of Medford Online Academy. Your participation in your students’ learning will have a lasting impact on your student!

Sincerely,

Natosha Savage

Online Learning Coordinator
