November Is Here Already!

Progress Reports:  I sent an email home this week stating that all assignments are due today. Grades will be posted tomorrow for the 2nd progress report. This grade does not go on your child's official transcript. The report card grade in December is the official grade. All parents should have access to parent portal to check grades. These grades change daily. You can even sign up to receive a weekly email (or however often you like). Also, progress reports are no longer sent home. You will need to check aeries/parent portal under "grades".

Donor's Choose: Thank you to everyone who donated to our project! We are more than halfway to our goal. Press HERE for the link!

Halloween: Yesterday was fun for the students. They were able to participate in a scavenger hunt during 3rd period. It went well. Mrs. DeVries put this together, so we owe her a big THANK YOU!

Yearbooks: Many of you purchased yearbooks at 6th grade orientation. If you did not purchase one and would like to, you can click this button:  YEARBOOK
You can either enter the school name: Green Valley Middle School or enter our school code: 7927
Yearbooks are $40 with a free nameplate if ordered before the winter break in December.
After the winter break they are still $40, but no nameplate.

Important (On Mrs. Cherry's Blog)

Wow.  We have NEVER seen so many requests for short term Independent Study (IS) as we have this school year.  It is SO very important for our students to be in school, even if they get the work from their teacher.  The instruction that they loose is way too valuable.  PLEASE, parents and guardians, remember the policies for IS as outlined in our student agenda, webpage, and welcome pamphlet:

• GVMS must be given at least 5 school days advance notice prior to the request
• IS must be at least 5 school days missed or more (weekends and holidays don't count)
• IS will not be granted the first two weeks and the last two weeks of school
• Please let us know if your student has an IEP as we must hold an additional meeting
• All assignments are due the day that the student returns
• IS may not be granted leading up to a long holiday week break (Thanksgiving, Winter Break, Spring Break)
