While we are not yet approved for Spring Athletics, we need to begin planning for our seasons. Parents--please take a moment to register your athletes as the following links. This will let us know of your student-athlete's plans for this coming season, and allows us to be in touch with information on practices as the seasons approach.
Grade 8
It was another busy week in Grade 8!
In Literacy, students are working on identifying Motifs and Theme Statements in literature. It’s a challenging task at times, but the students have been doing great work and deep thinking!
In Social Studies, students have been comparing the governments of Ancient Greece and the US government to see how the Greeks influenced our government. They’ve read informational texts, worked on an interactive notebook, and collaborated in groups to crack codes and learn more about our three branches of government.
In Science, we started the week with a summative on molecules and then transitioned into a unit on chemical versus physical change which we kicked off with a demonstration in class. There were a few classes where the experiments turned out to be a little more ‘exciting’ than others.
In Math, we used the Demos site again to discover more connections between equations of lines and their graphs. It is always so exciting to see the students make these connections without being shown. We will continue to use this new information and apply it to the current work.
Please continue to encourage independent reading at home! As always, we thank you for the support you provide at home.
Grade 7
Dear seventh grade parents,
Spring is almost here and the seventh graders are getting excited for the change in weather. Students continue to do a great job following the safety guidelines and protocols in our building and classrooms. We hope to start going outside again soon for mask breaks as the days get warmer.
ELA: This week, students started a research project. Students selected a topic, a focused research question, and a position, and then began researching evidence for their topic from Writing Workshop Text Sets. They will use this text evidence in the upcoming weeks to write an argumentative research based essay in MLA format.
Science: We have started a new science unit called Diversity of Life. Students are learning about the body as a system and how each system in the body works together to maintain homeostasis. That’s when the body feels balanced. Next week, students will learn about Classification and the structures that help an organism survive.
Social Studies: We are continuing our studies of economics. This past week we explored basic human needs, renewable and nonrenewable resources and traditional economies. This coming week we will be focusing on the manufacturing cycle and preparing for our next summative assessment. Two classes will take their summative at the end of this week, while the remaining two will complete it early next week.
Math: Last week we delved into addition of Rational numbers. Students participated in a “human number” line activity in order to help the visualization of adding positive and negative numbers. This week we will continue with addition and introduce subtraction of positive and negative numbers.

SRMS Student Attendance Expectations 2020-2021
This year at SRMS we will be tracking attendance a little differently than we historically have. This is to ensure your child’s safety in our building and to be consistent across the middle and high schools. If your child will be absent, late, dismissed early, or will miss a class period please use Pickup Patrol to report this absence as an excused absence. Any absences that have not been reported through Pickup Patrol will be marked as unexcused. Teachers will be taking attendance at the beginning of each period. If your child misses one or more classes during the day and it has not been documented through Pickup Patrol, the absence will be marked as unexcused and an automated email will be sent home from Renee LeBlanc. If you get a message and have information or documentation as to why your child’s absence should be excused, please contact Renee LeBlanc at rleblanc@sau17.net.
YES, THERE WILL BE A YEARBOOK THIS YEAR!
We might want to forget 2020, but we certainly won’t. We have been working hard and overcoming these challenging circumstances to create the 2021 Sanborn Regional Middle School Yearbook that will document this historic year. This is one book you will want to have.
The price of the 2021 yearbook is $25 but is ON SALE FOR $22 UNTIL FRIDAY, MARCH 5TH. With everything going on this year, the preferred method to order your child’s yearbook is online through our yearbook company, Jostens, website.
Copies are limited. We don’t have the ability to order extras, so please CLICK HERE to guarantee your copy.
