Regional Science Fair Success!

Eighth-grader Anya Mischel, won the Grand Prize in the middle division of the Prince William-Manassas

Regional Science and Engineering Fair, held on March 10 at the Kelly Leadership Center.

Anya's project was “A Microcosm of the Cosmos,” in which she used a concept called gravitational lensing

and preexisting data to deduce the percentages of dark matter and baryonic matter in galaxies and galaxy

clusters. This indicated whether the dark matter is found within the galaxies or in the space between them

in a cluster.

First-place winners are eligible to compete at the Virginia State Science and Engineering Fair and the grand

prize winner is nominated by the fair to take part in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair

that will take place on May 17 in Pittsburgh, PA.

Right to Special Programs/Services The Prince William County Public Schools Division is required to inform the commu-

nity of a student’s right to a free, appropriate public education and the availability of

programs and services, including a special education. The Individuals with Disabilities

Education Improvement Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act

(Section 504) are federal laws that give the School Division certain responsibilities

with respect to providing such educational programs to students with disabilities. Un-

der the IDEA and Section 504, the School Division has the responsibility to actively

and continuously identify, locate, and evaluate those children, infant to age 21, living

in Prince William County who may be in need of special education and/or related ser-

vices, or adaptations or accommodations to regular education services. These laws also

require the School Division to:

▪Refer for possible evaluation any student of school age living in the School Division who a school staff

member suspects may be disabled.

▪Provide appropriate educational and school‐related opportunities to students with disabilities in an in-

clusive setting to the maximum extent appropriate.

▪Provide notice of the availability of services and types and location of services to nearby private

schools, pediatricians, and the Health Department.

▪Provide parents/guardians of students with disabilities with notice of their rights annually, and prior to

their student’s evaluation and placement, or any significant change in their student’s placement.

▪Develop and implement procedural safeguards with respect to actions regarding the identification, eval-

uation, and placement of students with disabilities.

▪Provide written notice of the School Division’s procedural safeguards to parents or guardians.

Our school offers both Breakfast and Lunch for all students at cost. Students have accounts that the money is debited from. Unfortunately, this means they can end up with a negative balance. We do let students know their balances when they get low and you get texts/calls/emails from our system to let you know of the negative balance. It is PWCS policy that when lunch accounts are in the negative at or beyond $75, the student is una-ble to receive the standard lunch until the account is paid. We don’t want students to go hungry but the accounts still have to be paid as food was provided. Should you want more frequent information (balance & meal history) and management (block extra snacks, email balance reminders & payment with credit card) of your student’s food service account, you can use www.MySchoolBucks.com. You may also contact the cafeteria manager, Amelia Myrick, at 571.402.3525.

Zoo To You visits 7th Grade

The seventh grade students enjoyed some unusual classmates again this year. Zoo To

You brought a wealth of knowledge, and a few animals, to share with our students who

are learning about habitats, adaptations, and how humans impact the environments

around them. We learned about Capuchin Monkeys, Ring-tailed Lemurs, Bearded

Dragons, Ball Pythons, African Fainting Goats, and Hedgehogs. Students were able to

touch and hold some of the animals and they took tons of pictures, which they didn't

share with me.

Students took their new experiences and learning and created posters of their animals

to decorate our hallway. What a wonderful experience for our kids!

Keep Your Child Motivated to Learn and Do Well In and Out of School – From America’s Career Resource Network

It is important to encourage your child to do his or her best in school and in any outside activities in which her or she may participate. As a parent you can do this by:

•Showing love. Provide support and encourage your child to develop his or her interests. Let your child know that you support and love them is vital to maintaining a close parent-child relationship.

• Teaching responsibility. Encourage your child to be responsible for chores, completing homework assignments, taking on community activities, and acknowledging good and bad decisions that he or she has made. • Being a role model. Sometimes a parent's actions can speak louder than words. Show that you value education and exhibit the values and behavior you hope your child will develop. • Providing your child with a range of experiences. A range of experiences in sports, music, volunteer activities, travel, etc., will allow your child to discover and develop his or her strengths. • Setting limits. Discuss with your child what TV shows, movies and video games are appropriate for him or her to watch or play. Be aware of the activities and friendships that your child has. It is also important for you to know what music your child listens to and which magazines he or she reads. • Talking to your child. Be aware of what your child is doing. Talk to your child about his or her day, activities, school work, friends and interests. Listen to your child and discuss the subjects that are important to him or her, even if those subjects do not seem important to you. • Being aware of potential issues. Know and understand the potential problems or pressures that face your child such as drug use, depression, eating disorders and poor school performance so that they can be addressed as soon as possible. • Monitor your child's progress. Be aware of your child's progress on school work, tests and assessments, and grades so you can address any potential problems or issues before they become larger.

• Remember your child's next transition — to high school. Make sure that your child is aware of the classes and programs he or she will need to take in middle school to be prepared for high school and beyond. Help your child acquire the skills and knowledge needed in various subjects such as English, science, history, mathematics, foreign languages and computer classes. No matter what classes, programs or interests your child may want to pursue in middle school, help him or her also consider the options available during high school and post-high school education and use the time in middle school to prepare for those future educational opportunities.

* Early Dismissal Reminders *

Awesome Parents, We truly understand if an emergency arises and you must pick

your child up at dismissal. We will make every effort to see to it

that they are waiting in the office for you when there are

emergency situations. However, the student must be signed out

by a parent or an adult on the emergency card. Please know it’s

not our wishes to make this a difficult transition. However, it’s

really important to present proper ID when arriving for dismis-

sal. Per our county guidelines and for safety reasons, we must verify your identify always

before releasing a student. Parents, we also request that you arrive no later than 2:40 for

early dismissal. Once actual dismissal starts, it’s very difficult to release individual students

because your student may have exited the building already or is on a bus. Please make sure

you know which bus your child rides. This helps if we have to pull them. Thank you ad-

vance for arriving before 2:40 p.m. Our office staff truly appreciates it.

Contacting Teachers, Counselors and Administrators

Parents, please be sure to notify your child’s teachers or

counselors for any academic or behavior concerns. Please be sure

to check out Private Class Pages for homework and classwork

and the Public pages for additional information. If you need

additional assistance, please do not hesitate to email your child’s

teacher or grade level counselor. We are all here to educate and

support your child.

Important Information for Parents and Students Animals in the school setting and school grounds

Parents, please know that we love animals and would welcome them in the school for instructional

purposes per county regulations. Unfortunately, animals, specifically dogs are not allowed in school or

on school grounds. There are signs posted near our fields. We recognize that all animals we’ve seen

are secured to a leash. However, we ask that you adhere to the PWC policy and leave your pets at

home. Please also understand that you may be asked to leave the campus with your animal.

Question/Answer– Good To Know

Q: How do we get important messages or items you may drop off for your child to them in a timely

manner?

A: If it’s an emergency item, we’ll get it to them right away. However, if it’s something they can pick

up during lunch, their names are posted on the message board and they know to report to the message

table to pick the items up. This usually works very well. If a major change will occur for your child for

the day, such as a different route home, please share this and we will have a counselor or administrator

to get the message to them asap. When bringing shoes, please put them in a plastic bag with student’s

name on it.

Q: Can I speak with a teacher during the day if I have questions about my child?

A: During the instructional day, teachers are not able to speak to parents on the phone. However, they

are required to follow-up within 24 - 48 hours. They may also attempt to call during their planning

times.

Q: Am I allowed to have lunch with my child?

A: Absolutely! However, middle school students usually aren't too cool about it. Just let the office

know and you’ll need to sign-in.

Q: Can I watch my child practice sports?

A: Our coaches welcome it. However, please no side-line coaching :-). When visiting inside of the

building, please arrive before the main office closes at 4 p.m. and make sure the coach is aware of your

visit. You must be officially signed in when coming into the building.

Q: Can I volunteer at the middle school?

A: Absolutely! We welcome volunteers. In fact we need parent volunteers in many roles. Please con-

tact Jennifer Johnson at 571.402.3500 if interested.
