No Middle School Athletic Study Hall

This is a reminder that there is NO study hall after school until spring sports season begins in late April or early May. Only students who have assigned detentions, who have made arrangements with individual teachers for supervision and those who are attending open library hours with bus passes or parent permission, should be in the building after-school hours.

Science

Students will have a quiz this Friday, 3/14, on Photosynthesis, Cellular Respiration and how energy flows through the tropic levels (solar energy, producers, consumers, decomposers) in an ecosystem.

Students should look over their notes and photosynthesis/cellular respiration trifold for a few minutes each night to help prepare themselves for the quiz.

Additionally, students that would benefit from meeting with teachers before quizzes/tests should make an appointment to meet with either myself or Mrs. Otis-Lange during enrichment or after school.  If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me (rdecicco@mtsd-vt.org)
