Middle School Dance

SGA is sponsoring a Spring Dance for middle school students on Friday, March 18 from 3:30 - 5:30.

Spring Standardized Testing!

Next week we begin our standardized testing in grades 3-8. The test will last approximately three hours each day. Please do not schedule any appointments for your child during this time. Attendance is critical in that it is one factor that determines if we make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP).

Thanks for your support!

March 23 - 24    Alabama Reading and Math Test (ARMT)
March 25           Make-up Test

March 28 - 31 Stanford Achievement Test, 10th Edition
April 1             Make-up Test

Spring Fundraiser

Today kicks off our Spring Fundraiser to support our school. We will be selling the wonderful Kathryn Beich candy along with magazines and other items. The fundraiser dates are March 14 - 28, 2011. All order forms and monies should be returned by March 28 in order to ensure a return date before Easter.  Make checks payable to ASFL.

We appreciate your continued support!

Google Accounts for Middle School Students

Google accounts have been established for students in grades 6-7, if they returned a parental consent form. Please ask the students to log into the account and demonstrate for you all the features of Google. You will be amazed! Students will be able to complete projects collaboratively, in real time with their team members or partner. I will also be sending consent forms home with our current 5th graders who are upcoming 6th graders. 

Students no longer have to worry about work being lost or deleted, if they save everything in their Google account. Also, the word processing feature in Google is excellent, especially if you do not have the Microsoft Office Suite. Students may work on their projects from any computer with internet access. Check it out and give me your feedback!

If your child did not bring home a parental consent form, please let me know!

I want our students to be equipped with 21st century skills!

Report Cards

This grading period ends on March 11. Report cards will be sent home on March 21.

The last grading period begins on March 14. Please encourage your child to do his/her very best at all times. For some reason this grading period, many students have chosen not to submit classwork or homework. As a result, the report card will reflect lower grades.

We have some very intelligent students at ASFL and want them to work to their greatest potential. I thank you for supporting our school!
