Middle School Mandatory Summer Work

Posted

Dear Rising 6th-8th Grade Families,
Did You Know?
  • All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer. Research spanning 100 years shows that students typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer. (White, 1906; Heyns, 1978; Entwisle & Alexander 1992; Cooper, 1996; Downey et al, 2004)
  • Most students lose about two months of grade level equivalency in mathematical computation skills over the summer , or Mrs. Zack at kzack@stellamarisacademy.org.
    Sincerely,
    Mrs. Wick

Deadlines have been extended for Love Lines and Page Sponsors for our yearbook!

Posted

We still have a need for more parent and community support for our yearbook. These two programs help to offset the cost of the yearbook. So, your participation in sponsoring a yearbook page and/or sending a Love Line to your student, teacher or buddy is greatly appreciated!
Yearbook Sponsor Page:
Every student and teacher at SMA receives this beautiful 72 page hardcover book. For $50 your family or business can show your support and school spirit by sponsoring the page of your choice in the yearbook!
See Attachment for more information and available pages .
Yearbook Lovelines:
This is your opportunity to let your favorite SMA student know how proud you are of them and how much they mean to you. Love lines are short messages addressed to a student and included on special pages in the yearbook. These messages mean a lot to the students and they hold lasting memories. Price: $5 for every 10 words
You can email your requests to jwick@stellamarisacademy.org
Thanks SMA Community,
Mrs. Wick, Mrs. Pridmore, Mrs. McGarry, and the SMA Yearbook 8th Grade Staff

Make sure to start checking out some items on our SITE

Also, don’t forget to tell Kelly Lange you are coming. She is waiting to hear from you and will send you a welcome email from Cause4Auction so you can get your account set up and ready to bid.
