Middle School Orientation
Dear Middle School Students and Parents:
Middle School Orientation will be held on Wednesday, August 23, 2017. Students MUST be accompanied by a PARENT. Parent signatures are required on numerous SRTMS documents and students will not receive supplies/textbooks without signatures from all parties. Students will purchase locker locks ($7.00) (locks MUST be purchased from SRTMS and can be used for 6th, 7th and 8th grade years), Science Lab Fees ($5.00), and Activity Card ($30.00 optional), sign technology acceptable use agreement and Chromebook paperwork, and pick-up textbooks, locker assignment, and class schedules. Please take registration survey at: https://goo.gl/G75FNf before the orientation. It will make the registration process run much more smoothly. Please be sure to attend your grade level’s assigned time and follow the orientation signs when you arrive:
8th Grade - 9:00-10:00 7th Grade - 10:00-11:00 6th Grade - 11:00-12:00
Reminder to MS Parents. Any parent that has not previously registered for Q Parent Connect (SRTMS’ electronic grade book) is strongly recommended to do so and must bring a valid form of picture identification to orientation. Q Parent Connect provides a parent and student daily access to: grades, discipline, attendance, etc.
Reminder to MS Parents & Students. Supply Lists are posted on the SRTMS website. When purchasing a backpack for the upcoming school year, remember that it MUST fit in your locker. BACKPACKS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE CLASSROOMS. No exceptions. Rolling backpacks are discouraged as they do not fit inside lockers with all of a student’s required textbooks and supplies. Chromebooks MUST BE CARRIED IN A CASE AT ALL TIMES. Cases are not included with the device. The middle school staff suggests a small, padded netbook case (not a backpack) that travels easily from class to class. Chrome Books must accommodate a 12 inch screen. It should have a pocket to contain power supply and headphones. The power supply MUST accompany both devices to school on a daily basis.
Incoming 6th Grade Students are invited to attend “Middle School Boot Camp” from 1:00-3:00 PM immediately following orientation. Topics to be covered will be: meeting the 6th grade teaching staff, introduction to the Google suite of programs used in the Middle School., correctly organizing student binders and lockers, and an explanation of middle school rules and procedures. Students MUST bring their recommended supplies for the upcoming year in order for this event to be a success. This event will provide an opportunity to get the year started on the right foot. Lunch, games and prizes will be provided. We strongly encourage all incoming 6th graders to attend this event.
I look forward to seeing you all at orientation on Wednesday, August 23rd.
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO BRING TWO CHECKS! ONE WITH BE MADE OUT TO THE PVSD. THE OTHER WILL BE MADE OUT TO SRTMS.
Eagle Pride!
