WORDS FROM THE MIDDLE SCHOOL DIRECTOR

QUARTER CLOSES, EXAM WEEK IS HERE! A very short newsletter this week!  We completed a pretty frantic week of work getting ready to close grades today for the second quarter. By now each student should have completed any missed assignments and made up any tests or quizzes. Next week will be devoted to preparing for and taking semester examinations. The exam schedule is:
Wednesday – All Spanish sections
Thursday – All English sections; 6th grade math; 7th & 8th grade science
Friday – All Social Studies sections; 6th grade math & science; 7th & 8th grade math

Thursday and Friday will be half day sessions.  All students should be picked up at 12:00.

5TH GRADE VISITS THE MIDDLE SCHOOL
Thursday evening we held an open house/information session for 5th grade families to acquaint them with the Hancock Middle School. The event was well attended and many questions were answered.  MATERIALS WERE SENT HOME TODAY WITH EACH STUDENT WHO WAS UNABLE TO ATTEND!  Please ask your student for the packet.  If anyone has questions or would like a tour of the Middle School please contact us at 351-4500 or hcrawford@hancockdayschool.org.  We would be happy to have you visit!  Next steps will come after the first of the year. Contracts will be issued to returning families mid-January with an early February return date. Please look for those documents.

SICKNESS ON THE RISE!
As I sat in my office today we were flooded with a string of students with headaches and cold like symptoms. This is a stressful time.  Please be sure your child is getting lots of rest!  If they are sick, please keep them home. We will work out a makeup schedule for any missed work.

NEXT NEWS LETTER
Our next newsletter will be published on Monday, January 6th.  After that we will return to our normal Friday date.


A SAFE AND HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON TO ALL OF OUR FAMILIES!
