Make Check Payable to: Quail Valley Middle School Click here for detail information WOW!!! – Over 90 parents attended our first math club parent meeting on Wednesday, September 10. I have included below some of the highlights discussed. A parent from the meeting on Wednesday night suggested that the math parents form a core group of veteran parents and mapout points of leadership. Here are some of the areas suggested:
Concession point person High school volunteer recruiter
This person could alert the club on district policies and ask for parent action/voices when needed
With the parent energy that I saw last night, we should be able to have parents step up and take on some needed leadership roles. I am the teacher of record, but I cannot begin to manage the 150+ students alone any more. I welcome all your suggestions. Mrs. Curtice WEEKLY MATH CLUBS – Time is 4:15 – 5:30 Monday – JV I – 6th graders working on number sense, squares and calculator skills. Tuesday – JVII – 6th graders working on number sense, squares and calculator skills. Those students already advanced in these areas, will work separately on strengthening and increasing the pacing of their skills Wednesday – Varsity I and Varsity II – Varsity I is by invitation only. Varsity II is open to all 7th and 8th graders who wish to compete in Math Counts and TMSCA. They are expected to come ready to practice and focus on improvement. Thursday – JV III – 6th graders working on number sense, squares and calculator skills. Snacks will be available for purchase from $.25 to $1.00. Students may also bring their own from home. UPCOMING CALENDAR EVENTS 1. October 11 – Math Counts Competition – hosted at QVMS – sponsored by Star Learning – concesions and registration sponsored by RAIDERMATH CLUB - $15.00 entry fee – registration forms will be available from the green hallway bulletin boards on Monday, September 15. Volunteers Welcome We have had six Clements High School students (former GT Academy students) come and help at the JV and Varsity Clubs. NJHS students are welcome to register with Mrs. Curtice to come and help Monday, Tuesday or Thursday to earn YES hours. Thank you to a dad who is going to come on Wednesday to Varsity to assist Ms. Nal. The Varsity I group has 35 participants and that is too large. Contact Mrs. Curtice is you are interested. I have more calendar events, but they will be listed in the weeks to come. I have had inquiries for 6th graders to come to Wednesday math club. AT this time, I am creating a waiting list. I must wait and see how many 7th and 8th graders are going to attend. Any math club questions, please contact Mrs. Curtice by email. Comments are closed.
