May 18-22: Math test in Math classes

Please note that this year we are testing in regular classes--there will be no special schedule for testing. Please support your student by encouraging them to get a good night's sleep and eat breakfast.

At Kelly Middle School, we have set a School Improvement Goal to improve our scores on the Math state assessments. When students opt-out, it counts as not passing on our State School Report Card ; opting out does not affect any individual test results or records. We hope that most of our students will participate in the testing this year to show us how much they have learned and improved. Students who do opt-out will be given an alternative math assessment so that teachers can measure their progress over time.

Fidgets such as Nee Doh's are becoming very popular at school. Fidgets can be helpful for many students to help them stay focused and possibly reduce anxiety. Unfortunately, they can also create issues at school when not used for their functional purpose. We have noticed students throwing them, breaking them open or cutting them open to expose the sticky inside, and also stealing from each other causing disruptions in classrooms and hallways. Other common toys at school such as stuffies and tech decks have also led to similar issues.

When a student is not using the fidget for its functional purpose or if causes a disruption to their learning or others at school, it will be confiscated by the staff member and brought to the office. A guardian can make arrangements to come pick up the item from the main office.

We realize that some students need sensory tools to be more successful, and we want to continue to support the individual needs of our students as much as possible. Please reinforce these expectations with your student.

Please ensure your student’s annual permissions form is up to date. This form allows us to confirm whether students may participate in walking field trips and view age-appropriate digital content (such as educational videos and films) as part of their learning. If you need to update this form, please reach out to our registrar in the front office.

This cycle resets each week.

Repeated tardies over time will result in a parent meeting and the development of an attendance support plan to help the student be successful.

We are running a daily attendance report to monitor student attendance throughout the day. If a student is marked unexcused absent from a class but is present for all other classes that day, the student will:

Several of our staff and students react to fragrances in the environment at school. In the past, we have been a fragrance-free school to respect those staff and students who experience negative health reactions to fragrances in the environment.

Please speak with your student about NOT bringing ANY sprays to school and not using ANY spray products during the school day. This is a courtesy to others. We hope to have your support for a fragrance-free school environment for all staff and students.
