NOTE: No AST this week due to Parent/Teacher Conferences

I hope your weekend is off to an outstanding start. Here's some quick notes from me!

See You at Conferences!

One of the best ways to partner with us is to attend Parent/Teacher Conferences. It reinforces the value of education with your student. It also gives us a chance to learn from you, and you a chance to ask questions, celebrate successes, and learn about the experience of your students. We have conferences this Monday AND Tuesday from 4 - 7 pm at AGS. We hope you'll make time to attend.

Also, please remember that PTO was asking for families to help with keeping our staff fed! You can consider helping by checking the sign up sheet: Feed the Teachers! Conference Time!

Book Fair

I want to thank everyone who has supported our Book Fair over the past week. Our library team, our PTO, our parent volunteers, and our teaching staff have really helped support student readers who wanted to build their personal libraries.

Washington DC Trip

I went into 8th grade classrooms yesterday to share a flier with all 8th graders and introduce students to the World Strides website that is built just for our Gettysburg & Washington DC Trip. Any parents interested in the trip are invited to our Informational DC Parent Meeting on Tuesday, October 13 at 7 pm in the Cafetorium.

KINDNESS and COURAGE!

Mr. Malecki

We'll be at Parent Teacher Conferences and would LOVE to see you! Find us outside the Gymnasium at our School Counseling table.

Whether you have a question, want to learn more about specific supports we provide to students, or simply want to stop by and say hello, we'd love to connect with you! We look forward to seeing everyone Monday and Tuesday at conferences.

As always, please don't hesitate to reach out for support.

As a fundraiser to support some future 8th grade class events, the 8th grade class is hosting a BOO Bag Fundraiser. A BOO Bag is filled with spooky pencils, stickers, candy & other treats and is $3. Sales will occur during lunches on October 28 and 29. BOO Bags can be purchased gifted to other students, staff members, or even as treats for yourself. BOO Bags will be delivered during SRT on October 29.

The Fenton Rotary Club is working to support families this holiday season with their Angel Tree Project. Please click below for more information.

All middle school students have a four-lesson state mandated health curriculum that our physical education teachers deliver during SRT. Those lessons will begin for some students toward the end of September. We rotate students in for these lessons, then rotate them out once they've had them. Lessons include units on Human Reproduction and HIV/AIDS. According to Public Act 226 of 1977, you have the right to review the materials used in these lessons. If you would like to review the materials, please email Mr. Malecki. You also have the right to excuse your student from participating. If you wish to excuse your student, please complete this Reproductive Health Opt Out Form. Paper copies of this form are available in our main office. If you wish to have your student participate, no action is required.
