6th Grade Math (Brown): The next 15 Imagine Math lessons need to be completed by June 13th for marking period 4. This means that students should have completed 60 lessons total this year. This is a summative grade worth 100 points. Students who have completed their lessons currently have their 100 points in both Schoology and HAC updated. Otherwise, students have their homework marked as “incomplete” for now. I will update their grades again at the end of the week. I recommend students keep a record of their lessons using the Imagine Math Tracker in Schoology (assignment).

STEM (Mayer): Students have begun designing their last STEM Project…Rubber Band Race Cars! They will start engineering their car this week with a goal of having their race car travel the farthest distance. Most items needed are already in our classroom but students will need to bring in materials for tires. Some examples are CDs, gatorade bottle caps, soda/water bottle caps, toy tires, and lego tires. Distance race will be this Thursday, 6/8.

6th Grade Science (Mayer): Students are continuing to explore thermal energy. This week students continue learning about conduction, convection, and radiation. Science students will also have a post-test at the end of this week to see what they have learned throughout this school year.

Mrs. Whitaker 7th & 8th Grade Math: 15 Imagine Math lessons need to be completed by June 6. This is a summative grade. Their current number of passed lessons is in Schoology (not HAC). It does not update automatically. I will update again in 2 weeks. I recommend students keep a record of their passed lessons.

There are no more summatives as they finished their 3D map last week. Their last large formative, 100 points, their 51st State Project was also completed last week. They will not have a final exam. Students are taking their journals home with them this week.

Science Post Test Schedule for 7th grade: 6/7 for science block 1B; 6/8 for science blocks 3A and 4A; 6/12 for science block 1A

8th Grade ELA (Lundy):
Students are working on i-Ready at the beginning of this week. As they finish, an extra credit assignment will be offered that is due Monday, June 5th. We also will begin our study of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. We will watch parts of 3 different productions of this play and closely read important passages to introduce HOW to read Shakespeare.

In addition, I have posted an assignment on Schoology for 8th grade students only. I would like each student to select 1 picture to upload on this assignment. The picture should capture a moment at school or a school-related event that was special to the student. This can include any school-related activity such as a classroom experiment, the 8th grade dance, a sporting event, one of the concerts, the play, Builders Club, Math League, etc. The picture must be of the student uploading the picture. The assignment is posted on your Class of 2027 Schoology course.

8th Grade Move-Up Ceremony:

8th grade students and their families are invited to join us on Thursday, June 8, 2023, for a special ceremony to celebrate our 8th grade students. The ceremony begins promptly at 6:00 PM in the auditorium. Parking is available by the tennis courts, and doors will open at 5:30 so students and families can find their seats.

Technology:

Please make sure your student is charging their device daily and/or bringing their charger with them to school.

We will start the Chromebook collection for MS after exams. Students will need to hand in their working (non-damaged) device AND their charger. There will be a $25 fee for lost chargers and damaged Chromebooks. Lost Chromebooks are $250.

Field Day (June 9th):

Please consider donating a case of water for our upcoming field day this Friday! Please have your student bring it to their first block teacher. Students will have the opportunity to sign T-Shirts and yearbooks on this day if they are interested. .

Morning Drop-Off:

Doors open at 7:05am! Please let your students out of the vehicle at 7:05 am so we do not have two car lines in the morning. As the line progresses please move with it all the way up before you let your student out. Please do not let students out in the parking lot for safety reasons.

In addition to basic preventative healthcare, you can also get a Flu shot and Covid vaccine at no cost to you. Call or visit the Wellness Center (H Building) to schedule an appointment. (302)-454-5421, OR
