Dear Spanish Fort Middle Families,
Have you checked PowerSchool grades lately? Q3 Report Cards will go home with 8th graders on Monday, due to Career Day mixed schedules. Q3 Report Cards go home today for 7th graders ONLY.They will have their course selection sheets with their reports cards. These MUST be returned by next Friday, March 24th. If students were picked for pre-selected electives, this will be notated on students' course selection sheets. Here is the recommendation criteria for advanced courses. Email me, Erica Cruthirds (ecruthirds@bcbe.org), if you have questions.
ACAP Testing Schedule- This is for students who test in regular homeroom. (Students with small group testing, as predetermined in 504 or IEP accommodations, will be on a different schedule, which you should receive in an email.) Thurs, April 6- Science for 8th Graders ONLY Mon & Tues, April 10 & 11- ELA Wed & Thurs, April 12 & 13- Math
Student Council is sponsoring Sweet Treats for Testing Motivation.The sale opened in MySchool Bucks on Mar. 1st and goes through Mar. 24th (posted to social media on Mar. 1). Each day of testing, you can purchase a sweet treat for your child, which will be sent with an encouraging note to your child's homeroom during our ACAP Summative testing window (April 6-13). Treats are $2 per treat/day. Thank you Mrs. Paige Wilson for setting this up!
NJHS will be sponsoring the “Many More Miles” shoe drive until March 25th. We are looking for gently used shoes (any type--doesn't have to be just sneakers), cleaned up and either tied together or put together with rubber bands, zip ties, or bags- whatever works! The idea is that the shoe still has "many more miles" left in it for someone else to use. Please bring donations to Mr. Yohn or Ms. Countryman by March 24th.
