More Tik Tok Challenges Encouraging Inappropriate Behavior
Bus Concerns
Daily we are responding to bus driver requests to review bus tapes for inappropriate and unsafe behavior on our buses. Please talk to your child concerning safe behavior on the bus. Distractions on the bus create an unsafe environment for individuals both on and outside of the bus. Please be advised that unsafe and inappropriate behavior on the bus may result in a loss of bus riding privileges. We need the support of parents/guardians to help us transition our students back into the school environment.
Maryland State MCAP Testing
Monday will start the state MCAP testing for 7th graders at Margaret Brent Middle School. The students will take the previous year's test (last spring's test was postponed to this fall). To help ensure technology success, please make sure that your child completely shuts down their computer the night before, plugs it in to fully charge it, and brings it to school with them on Monday. As always, a good night's sleep and a good breakfast are recommended.
The MCAP schedule is as follows:
- 8th grade: September 28, 29, and 30
- 6th grade: October 5, 6, 7, and 12 (5th grade also has the science test)
- Virtual Academy: October 13 & October 14 at MBMS 8:15
