Viking Parents,

     Our first quarter is completed.  We are off to a great year.  Our attendance rate is up and we had only two suspensions for the first quarter.  When our students attend school each day and demonstrated expected behavior, we are destined for continued academic growth.  
     I thank all parents who participated in our World's Finest Chocolate fundraiser. The winners were announced on our monthly postcards.   Our fruit sales has begun.  All fruit orders are due on November 21, 2014.  All of our school fundraisers are used to support student activities and field trips. 
     Mayewood Middle School has made academic growth history!!  On November 15, we will have a Academic Growth Celebration from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.  All parents and students are invited to join us as we will be celebrating Mayewood's growth on the federal and state report cards.  Superintendent Dr. Baker donated a barbeque hog for this event.  There will be barbeque chicken, other food, and drinks available.  Students, parents, and teachers will be releasing biodegradeable balloons on the football field. We look forward to seeing you there.
     Our staff is never complacent.  Each day we strive to prepare our students for college and the advanced skilled workforce.  Benchmark report cards will be mailed to parents this month.  Please review your child's academic performance and review their goals.  I greatly appreciate the wonderful parent support.
