Entering Report Card Marking 2

Dear Middle School Families,

Now that we have entered into report card marking 2, it is very important to monitor grades on Parent Connect.  Some things to look for will be missing assignments, low scores, etc.  We encourage you all to email teachers immediately for any questions or concerns.  January 15th, 2019 will be the end of report card marking 2.  Make sure that you see your child studying for at least an hour daily.  Many of the classroom teachers give exams on a Friday, so that means you should see your child preparing for the test Wednesday and Thursday, for example.  If you need any support and more information feel free to contact the school.  Our mission is the success of all the students at Salina Intermediate.

Parent Contracts for Middle School

Hello Families,

Parent contracts are based on a child being 2 grade levels or below in math and/or reading for the NWEA Test.  Students take this test 3 times a year:  Beginning, Middle and End.  Teachers will inform you throughout the year, along with admin making an announcement via robo calls, student emails and iblog post.

Some families are asking how to prepare or improve a student’s grade.  There are many ways, but the first and best way is to communicate with your child’s math and language arts teachers.  If you need any further information please come visit Mrs. Nowak and she will be glad to assist.

During the break, it would be a great time to make sure your child is using CLEVER to practice many skills.

Have a great Thanksgiving!
