The Middle Update 4/1/16

It's almost time to get back in and finish the home stretch on a high note!  I hope everyone has had a relaxing time and is ready to come back and get after it.  See below for a couple of items of note.  Looking forward to Monday!

Hoops 4 Heart Rescheduled
Due to last Thursday's weather cancellation, we'll make up the Hoops 4 Heart game on Tuesday, 4/5 night.  Doors open at 5:00pm, with game time set to start at 5:30.

16-17 Budget
I appreciate all of your hard work to get your budget requests to me on time.  My recommendations for final requests are due to the district office on Tuesday, 4/5.  I will meet with some groups on Monday to clarify some of the requests.

 Forward Exam
The Wisconsin Forward Exam is coming up later this month.  Click HERE to learn everything you want to know (of what has been released anyway).  Also, click HERE to view the testing schedule.  It's important to share this information with students to help prepare them.  We will be having a meeting on Monday, 4/11, to train all test proctors.  An invite has been sent for that meeting.  Teams should be reviewing testing groups, and making any adjustments they feel is necessary this week.

 Assembly this Friday
We will be having a Middle School Assembly this Friday, 4/8, in the 1-8 Gym.  Students should be released at 2:10.  All teachers that aren't teaching elementary or HS classes should be there.

 March Students of the Month
The March Student of the Month Breakfast has been postponed and will take place on Thursday (4/14) morning.  That will bump back the final SOM Breakfast of the year to Thursday (5/12).

 Congratulations go out to this month's recipients:
Gemma Buss     Michael Leiterman     Jessica Bruchs     Ethan Buss
Maddie McGlynn   Cory Hohlstein   Evonna Morgan   Shelby Reeder

Please share the following information about a day this week. This information is from the Wisconsin DPI website.
