Hornets Herald

Parents, ask your student what score did they earn for both ELA and Math from the NWEA test that concluded on Friday, February 9, 2024. Congratulations go out to students in 3rd, 7th and 8th grade who moved a percentage of students to the "proficiency" category for either ELA, Math or both. In fact, students in 7th grade were treated to pizza and pop from Mrs. Pangrace and Mr. Gleske who moved their scores 5-7 pts. more than the Fall administration of the NWEA.

We ask that parents continue to remind students of the importance of remaining focused during the state tests, getting a good night's rest and eating a healthy breakfast the morning of the test. Education research has shown that students who do these little things have a significant chance of scoring "proficient" on standardized tests. Finally, a special "Shout Out!" to Mrs. Misconish and her 3rd grade class that had the highest number of proficient students in both ELA and Math than any other grade level in the building! Keep up the great work Hornets!

Over thirty-five 6th/7th/8th graders have expressed an interest in participating in the 2024 Miles Park Track and Field team this Spring. Coaches Montrose and Young expect students to exhibit academic success in each of their classes with maintenance of a "C+" average or higher. In addition, the Coaches expect the students to demonstrate Hornet Character traits when in classes, hallways and in the lunchroom. Come out to see the Track and Field team practicing after school as they jog around the perimeter. Good luck Hornet Student-Athletes!

On behalf of the Family and Community Engagement Committee, students were given an opportunity to learn all about African-Americans that have made significant contributions to the history of the United States and the world. Mrs. Spencer and Mrs. Calhoun, along with community members, put together a "museum" so that students could walk through and learn more about these outstanding contributors to American History! Way to go Mrs. Spencer and Mrs. Calhoun and committee members!

In order to celebrate the successes of our scholars for the hard work that they have done, we will be hosting assemblies to show them how much they are appreciated! On Thurs., February 22nd, students in grades 1st-8th will be recognized by their teachers for achievement in ELA/Reading Intervention, Math, Science and Social Studies as well as Art, P.E. and Music. In addition to academic achievement, the students will be celebrated for classroom/school citizenship and PBiS reward points as well! Moreover, students that have achieved Honor Roll or Merit Roll will be recognized as well! Please join us as we celebrate your scholars!

Parents, take a minute to ask your student about their grade level Profile of a Graduate project. The focus this semester is on Information Technology Literacy. The students will demonstrate their learning during the 2nd week of May in the gymnasium. There are a wide range of fascinating ideas all generated from the students themselves! Look for upcoming information about the POG Fair!
