Wednesday's Staff Meeting Cancelled
We will not be meeting as a Middle School Staff on Wednesday, 1/27 because of our building collaboration work on Monday.
Student of the Month Breakfast
A reminder that our Student of the Month Breakfast will be on Thursday, 1/28, morning. Congratulations to this month's recipients: Brady Wentz, Kyla Thays, Devin Curtis, Leah Grey, PJ Nelson, Megan Reddeman, John Kin Bergeman, and Mollie Blochwitz.
2nd Quarter Grades
This is a reminder that 2nd Quarter Grades for Middle School students should be posted by the end of the day on Wednesday, 1/27/16. We will review report cards, and mail them out by Friday, 1/29. Please report on standards that you assessed throughout the quarter in which students had opportunities to display Advanced level work. Standards that are not assessed should be left blank. Comments specific to a student's performance can be useful feedback for both students and parents. As a reminder, we will be recognizing student achievement in academics and behaviors with the following stamps:
"Distinguished Academic Performance" - all Proficient or Advanced scores on report card
"Model Puma" - meets expectations in all 5 Puma Pride areas
"On Time, Every Time" - 0 unexcused tardies for the quarter
