Assistant Principal Fligor's Page
Fabulous February February is the start to the 3rd quarter for all students in 5th – 8th grades and the second semester for students in K – 4th grades. Report cards have come home this past Friday, February 3rd; giving students and parents information regarding academic performance and comments relating to participation and behavior. Now is a great time to celebrate all the growth and positive comments reported and to look at possible changes to enhance performance for the remainder of the school year. This is not about receiving an “A” but checking in to see if homework and projects are completed and handed in on time, quizzes and tests are studied for and behavior is respectful and does not distract from the learning environment. Students who come to school prepared have a better outlook on the day and are more likely to feel good about being in each class. Parents who are involved in checking homework, contacting staff when a question arises and helping their students prepare for the day are an integral part of education. Parents and staff working together can help provide the best opportunity available for students; we appreciate your help and look forward to a successful second half of this school year. The boys and girls basketball teams have worked hard and are now looking forward to playing in the semi-finals and finals. Thanks to all the coaches, refs, parents and fans who have helped these student athletics during the season. Next sport is co-ed volleyball with games starting in March. 8th grade students are working with guidance and in Life Skills preparing for their transition to high school next year. Parents can stay informed of the process by checking our school’s website and talking with their student about course selection. The Youth Task Force is hosting a middle school parent night February 16, 2012 at the high school. This is a good opportunity for parents to make connections with other parents who will have children entering high school at the same time. Come enjoy some chowder and conversation about these important years in your child’s life. February 27th – March 2nd is our winter break. Enjoy some time together.

Arriving to School On Time Help your child(ren) start their school day on the right foot by arriving to school on time. 5th - 8th grade students can enter the building at 8:10 a.m. go to their locker and prepare for the day. Kindergarten - 4th grade students can enter the building at 8:15 am and go straight to their homerooms. All students should be in their homerooms by 8:20 am; arriving after this time they are tardy.
Community Service Hours Community Service is an opportunity for students to give back for the gift of education. Students can give of their time to any non-profit organization or individuals not in their family and earn community serivce hours. Students can start accumulated hours in 6th grade and continue through graduating in 8th grade.
If I can be of any help to you or your child(ren) please contact me either through my email at afligor@mvyps.org or calling 508-627-3316 ext 404.
