Reopen Our Schools Act - Middle School

We have received communication from the NC State Superintendent, Catherine Truitt, explaining the passage of the “Reopen Our Schools Act.” Some charter advocates asked the General Assembly to be excluded from SB220 and therefore charter schools were not included in the bill. Unfortunately, as a result of this exclusion, charter schools do not have the same flexibility traditional schools now enjoy opening in Plan A for students in grades 6-12, a flexibility which many charter schools - including Socrates Academy - wish to have. Charter school advocates are seeking to rectify this situation with additional legislation but we must follow the current laws until and unless such legislation becomes effective. 

Socrates Academy will remain in Plan B (hybrid A/B week rotation) until additional legislation is passed. If you would like to change your opt-in for 4th quarter because of this legislation, contact jsoucey@socratesacademy.us. 

If you would like to advocate for the inclusion of Charter Schools, you may reach out to your state representatives.

8th Grade Promotion Ceremony | Save the Date - June 3rd


8th Grade Promotion Ceremony Committee

The 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony Committee is looking for 8th grade parents who are interested in helping out with the Promotion Ceremony this year. Volunteers will build the slide show and help with details to make this a special day the 8th grade students will remember. If you would like to help out, email jsoucey@socratesacademy.us
8th Grade Slide Show
We are currently working on a 8th grade promotion ceremony plan, but one thing is for sure, we are going to need pictures for our slide show. It is customary every year at the graduation ceremony to present a photo slide show that chronicles the journey our scholars have had from Kindergarten until now. 
 
In order to ensure that every scholar is represented, please read the requirements below

  • No more than TWO individual photos of your scholar. They can be any age, from kindergarten until now. Please let us know the name of your scholar when you send these photos.
  • Group photos of scholars with each other, teachers, coaches, and other staff members through the years at Socrates. The more students in the picture, the better. 
  • If your student is new to Socrates, you are also welcome to send in a couple of additional photos of your scholar.
 
We want every scholar represented, so please don't delay this important task!
 
You can submit photos:
  • By using this form to upload (EASY!) and choose 8th Grade Slide Show
  • By email, as attachments only please, to SocratesGraduation@gmail.com
  • Upload to Google or other drive and send the link to the folder
  • Drop off a flash drive (or send in with your student) in the MS building for Mrs. Soucey and then the drive will be sent back home with your student.
The Socrates Academy Band is selling Indian River Citrus as a mini fundraiser. All proceeds will go to purchase sheet music and instruments for the band and your order is shipped directly to you!
Plan B 4th Quarter
Transition Opt-Ins

To request your student begin in-person classroom instruction for 4th quarter, please fill out the form below by March 19th. No late forms will be accepted. K-5 will return on April 19th. Middle School will begin on B week.

DO NOT FILL OUT THE FORM IF YOUR STUDENTS ARE ALREADY ATTENDING IN-PERSON.

The Uniform Closet will resume normal operations in April.
 
The good news is you don't need to come in while the Closet is open to order patches for your uniform shirts.
 
Purchase uniform shirts from the retailer of your choice. Please note that moisture wicking, athletic fabric shirts are not policy compliant and cannot be patched.
 
There are contact-free pick up and drop off bins inside the Middle School building entryway. As you enter, the bins will be to your left. The exterior doors remain unlocked during school hours, (internal doors are always locked for security reasons) so this bin can be accessed at your convenience. Do NOT pick up your items on Friday. All Fridays are mandatory deep cleaning days for the entire campus and only cleaning staff is allowed on site.
 
Payment is completed online and 2 copies of the order confirmation email should be included with your uniform items. One copy serves as the label for your completed order, and the other copy is retained for our records in the unlikely event there is an issue with your order. Please remove items from hangers before dropping them off in unstaffed 24 hour drop box located in the Middle School entryway.
 
You'll receive email notification when your order is complete. Orders are left in the pick up box, also in the Middle School entryway. During a normal school year, orders are delivered to the classroom and sent home with your scholar, but due to this year's unique circumstances that is not a service we can offer at this time.
