Our 8th Grade class is currently fundraising to help offset the costs of their year end trip to Boulder Ridge Wild Animal Park in Grand Rapids. If you are interested in supporting our students, please click the link below to shop the available products through Scentsy.

All 8th grade students will be taking the PSAT8 on April 10th. We will begin the Digital Readiness process next week to ensure that students are prepared for the new online platform.

Linked below is the PSAT8 Student Guide. All students taking the PSAT8 should review the guide with their families for test day security purposes as it previews test-day expectations that students will agree to on test day via the BlueBook testing app.

Also linked below is an opt-out form for families to review if you do not wish for your student to participate or provide optional information for the BigFuture School app and/or the new Connections program. Opting-out for these platforms during the PSAT8 would mean that your student would not be linked to BigFuture or Connections correspondence related to planning and preparing for college and/or scholarship opportunities. If families opt out, I will need a printed copy of the opt-out form below by Tuesday, March 19. If you are unable to print the form from home, please have your student see Mrs. Fitzgerald for a printed copy to bring home.

Here are the student and family PSAT8 links:

Just a reminder that we offer Study Hall every week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3:05 - 4:05. Students have enough time to grab an after school snack and their things and report to the Study Hall room. Study Hall can be used for additional help on assignments in any content area, additional time on assignments, access to the internet for larger projects or test make-ups.

In an effort to ensure that students are safe and supervised, students must remain in the Study Hall room until 4:05 unless prior arrangements have been made by a caregiver. Students are responsible for their own transportation after study hall.

The Lions will be coming in to complete vision screening for all students in Grades 6-8. This will take place the morning of Wednesday, March 27th. If you do not want your child to participate, please complete the opt out letter included below and return to the office by March 25th.

Our students continue to participate in discussions around managing relationships and social conflict.

• 6th graders will be able to examine social conflicts from multiple perspectives so they can resolve minor conflicts.
• Our 7th graders will be able to explain how to listen to and consider someone else’s perspective during a conflict.
• Our 8th graders will be able to analyze conflicts from multiple perspectives to help prevent them from escalating.
