Your child’s Math Placement Criteria Rubric for the upcoming 24-25 school year completed by your child’s current math teacher and reviewed by our administrative team is being sent home today with your student.

This is a reflection tool to set your student up for math success next school year. After reviewing the information, please complete and return the parent response section by March 22nd to your child’s current math teacher.

If you have any questions, please contact your child’s current math teacher.

The Education Accountability Act requires the annual school report card to include evaluations by parents of each school. The goal of this parent survey is to identify strengths, weaknesses, and to define opportunities to improve parental involvement at our school and in the state. Additionally, the parent survey provides information to improve school and district performance. We ask that all MMSOA parents complete this survey before March 22nd.

The 2023-2024 Parent School Climate Survey is available in the PowerSchool Parent Portal website under Forms. If you are not able to access the survey, please contact Sherri Scoggins at MMSOA at scoggins@bcsdschools.net.

Accessing the Parent Climate Survey

• All families of public-school students may complete one Parent and Guardian Survey for each of their students. Only one survey per family should be completed per student.

The 6th Grade Science classes will have ECM (Engaging Creative Minds) Engaged Learning Experience (ELE) with Simone Liberty entitled, "For Every Action". In this Science/Dance integrated lesson, students will work in groups to create dances practicing symbolism and choreographic meaning to represent different human body systems. Ms. Graham's classes will have their experience March 18-22nd. Ms. McCumiskey's classes will have their experience March 25-29th.

Below you will find a Parent Letter that further explains ECM.

You can follow ECM on social media for an opportunity to see the students in action!
