Messages from Mrs. Kunze
Testing - FCAT & EOC
This past week was a big week of testing. THANK YOU to all of our volunteers!!! We can not administer all of these exams without your help.
Testing scheduled for this week..........
8th grade FCAT Reading CBT - Tuesday through Wednesday
6th grade FCAT Math CBT - Thursday & Friday
Please help your child be prepared for testing with a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast.
Beverly Slough, District 1 representative to the St. Johns County School Board, writes periodic updates for parents and others concerning school district matters. If you would like to receive the updates, please email her at Beverly.Slough@stjohns.k12.fl.us so that she can add you to the distribution.
ATTENTION PARENTS...
SCHOOL SUPPLY SHOPPING JUST GOT EASIER!
To help make your life easier, SPMS PTSO is offering you an opportunity to purchase prepackaged school supplies for your student through Educational Products, Inc. Each pack of school supplies includes required items selected by our Teachers. The packs can be ordered through EPI's secure website starting April 25th, 2014 thru June 16th, 20014!
1. Go to www.epipacks.com (sales tax added at checkout)
2. Enter the School ID, SWI008
3. Follow the directions to complete your order
4. Keep your online confirmation as your receipt
Your child doesn't have the schedule for next year yet but you will be able to add to cart all of the core subjects and those electives that you already know your child will have.
*School supply packs will be delivered to the school prior to the first day.
Spring Fling
We will have our Annual Spring Fling on Friday, May 9th. On this day lunches are extended and we set up a portable stage on the back lawn by the cafeteria patio. Students sit and enjoy lunch and music. We will also sell snow cones using Raider Bucks only. If your student is interested in singing at Spring Fling, he/she needs to see me by Friday, May 2nd.
SAC Needs Assessment Survey
Each year we ask parents, students & staff to complete a Needs Assessment Survey. We use this survey to help us make improvements within the school. For the next few Fridays I will respond to some of the concerns from the survey.
In the written section of the Parent Survey, the biggest complaint was about Edmodo not being an effective method of communication from teachers. For the parent question - Is Edmodo an effective form of communication? 21% said yes and 17% said frequently for a 38% total from the 308 parents who took the survey. This percentage concerned us, so we went to the student survey. The students had a question that asked - My teacher's use of Edmodo is helpful to me. Of the 988 students that responded, 72% stated yes. We think because the parent view on Edmodo is so different than the student view that we really need to encourage parents to use their child's login information instead of creating a parent account. Many teachers have really figured out how to use Edmodo this year and post a myraid of resources for students. We will continue to train teachers on the features of Edmodo and will continue to use the program next year.
Another comment from several parents was about parking when volunteering or checking-out their child. I have discussed this concern with Mr. Pantano, Mainteance Coordinator, to address additional visitor parking in the front lot. We are scheduled for parking lot resurfacing this summer, so at that time we will designate more spaces in the front lot for visitors.
Important Dates for 8th graders
Thu, June 5th - 10:30am - 8th grade Awards in Swiss Point gym

Blood Shortage Appeal
Since the holidays we have been either short or critical on most blood types. On a national level, blood donations have been trending downward, but usage continues to stay at high levels. If we have a large need like we did last week when Mayo performed 3 O+ liver transplants in one day, we can easily become critically low on any given blood type. Please contact the Blood Alliance at www.igiveblood.com or call 824-1891.
