FREE TMSCA TESTING - Saturday October 18
We are trying something new this year - ONLY for QVMS math club students - to get a practice TMSCA test before our first meet on Saturday October 15th - Mrs. Curtice will be administering the TMSCA online test. Students may come to QVMS and take any or all of the 4 tests below at the designated times. There will be no late admittance. If your student has not practiced Number Sense or Calculator, she/he will only be able to take General Math and General Science. Then the test will immediately be scored so the students can how she/he did. NO TROPHIES will be given. The students can access the TMSCA website to see how her/his score matches to other TMSCA students around the state. The schedule is as follows: Arrive at QVMS by 8:00 if you are taking Number Sense or Calculator; Number Sense -- 8:20am (no late admittance, only 10 min test) Calculator -- 8:45am (30 min test) General Math -- 9:30am (40 min test) General Science - 10:30am (40 min test) May leave after 20 minutes.

First TMSCA Practice Competition - Saturday October 25th ATASCOCITA High School Sign up now !!! Download the signup form and detail information. All clubs will meet this coming week. I have a parent who has offered to type up a distribution list. This would greatly help as competition season has begun. THANK YOU to FBISD At the parent meeting in August I shared the news that transportation costs had depleted the Raidermath budget. I have been in contact with Dr. Dupre, all the school board members, Mr. Cleaver who manages the transportation department, Ms. Ogle, our principal, and Mr. Faust our area superintendent. I was notified this week that our middle school competitions now will be considered UIL and therefore, we will qualify for a lower fee for the bus drivers. In addition, FBISD is adjusting our invoices so that about $2000 to $2500 will be returned to the Raidermath account. If you see any of these individuals, please thank them on behalf of the Academy's raiders. Now we are going to be able to get a bus to take us to the first TMSCA practice meet in Atascocita which is 80+ mile round trip. The students will still be charged $12.00 fee, but this is manageable. RAIDERMATH SHIRTS Order form will go home with all math club students on Monday, October 13 for our Raidermath shirt that we wear to all competitions. We will hopefully to this online so you can order. A check made to QVMS or cash will be accepted. Please order by Thursday for a size. Any questions, please contact Mrs. Curtice.
