Congratulations to Mrs. Goosen's Statesman Time on winning the Black History Month door decorating contest! They did an awesome job on their door, and they also made their door an interactive learning experience.

Check out these photos of 7th grade students in Mrs. Creath's Science classes dissecting earthworms as preparation for their field trip to St. Louis University where they had the opportunity to dissect pig hearts to learn about the functions of the human heart!

Spring Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held on Tuesday, March 14 from 4:00pm to 8:00pm and Wednesday, March 15 from 4:00pm to 8:00pm. Tuesday’s conferences will be held in-person at Hixson and Wednesday’s conferences will be held virtually on Zoom.

These conferences are not mandatory; if you do not have any questions or concerns, or feel that your questions/concerns could be addressed in an email, you do not need to sign up for a conference. We do not have as much time for spring conferences as we do for fall conferences. If you have recently had an IEP, 504, or team meeting for your child, we ask that you please refrain from scheduling a conference at this time.

To schedule a conference with your child’s teachers, please use the link below. All Wednesday conferences will be in the “V” section for virtual.

We’re excited to invite you to our upcoming Scholastic Book Fair. Hosted by our librarian, Mrs. Haddock, this event is an opportunity for students of all ages to build their home libraries and further their love of reading. As always, all purchases benefit our school.

The Book Fair will take place from Monday, March 6 through Thursday, March 16 in the Hixson Library. Students will visit the book fair initially with their ELA teacher and then they can come back on pass.

Our Book Fair offers eWallet, a safe and secure alternative to cash. Simply create a free account to add funds and/or invite family and friends to contribute so your child can select their own books. Any unused funds can be spent at The Scholastic Store Online or to fund a future eWallet. You can watch a quick clip about eWallet below. Students can also make purchases with cash, check (made out to Hixson Middle School), Apple Pay, and credit card.

You can check out some cool book trailers of titles featured at this spring’s fair below.

If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop at our school’s Online Book Fair. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Your online orders will also benefit our school.

We’re excited to celebrate our love of books together at the Book Fair. We look forward to seeing your child there! If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Haddock at Haddock.Jordan@wgmail.org
