Northeast Middle School

We will continue to utilize ParentSquare for all school-to-home communications again this school year. ParentSquare is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection with our district and schools. It provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to send and receive school and class information, share pictures and files, see calendar items, sign-up to volunteer, and schedule parent-teacher conferences all in one centralized place. For even more convenience, please download the ParentSquare app (available for free for iOS and Android devices).

Over the next few weeks, all students will take SBA tests in Math and Language Arts and 8th graders will also take a test in Science.  Although the students do not get a traditional grade for the tests, it is still very important that they try their best and come prepared.  The scores on the test are used to place students in various course levels and intervention classes.  A student who clicks through a test randomly and takes five minutes to do a 50 minute test, may find themselves unable to get the high school classes they want or may be placed in intervention classes they do not really need.  Beyond that, the tests validate all the hard work of the students and the staff.  We have great confidence in the ability of our students and we know our teachers have done a great job.  We always want to show the city and the state that we are a top middle school and the effort of the students on testing days can go a long way to make that happen. Please make sure that your child gets plenty of sleep, eats a good breakfast, and shows up on time.  The test is done on the Chromebooks so it is very important that they charge them fully every night. It is also helpful if they bring headphones or earbuds that will connect to their Chromebooks. Wireless/Bluetooth ones do not connect.   We do have a supply of disposable earbuds but students often feel more comfortable with their own and it is wasteful to throw away earbuds after 1 use.  Thanks in advance for all you do to get our students ready to shine
