8th Grade Community Project Update, May 10
Attention 8th grade families - Community Project Update:

The 8th grade Community Projects are now completed. 8th grade students presented to 6th and/or 7th grade classrooms this past Tuesday the reflections of the action projects that they've done. Students who were not present on Tuesday had the opportunity to present to their Discovery class on Thursday. Look for student scores on criterion A, B, C, and D in PowerSchool over the next week or so. This is a summative assessment score and students do have the opportunity to raise their score after showing independent and intentional effort and work in the areas they wish to achieve. They should work with their Community Project supervisors. Next week, students will go back to their original Discovery class (which is the same teacher as their OT). Please direct feedback and suggestions my way for future improvements to this program.

IB Coordinator
Community Welcome to attend 8th grade Projects Expo
ALL COMMUNITY WELCOME!

The Middle School is hosting an  8th grade projects expo  on the evening of May 30. Students are refining their  public speaking  capabilities by receiving coaching (live and virtually) on a speech of their choosing. Students are encouraged to use a speech they've created over their Middle School careers and/or write a new one on a topic of their choice. Virtual coaching is taking place with our Community Partner, REM5 VR Lab, located here in SLP. The live coaching is happening by staff with significant time and training in the field of speaking. We invite ALL to come and view these speeches.
