The Weekly Bulletin

Our school mission:
Alice Deal Middle School inspires excellence, curiosity, and compassion through intellectual and social engagement.

Principal's message to Deal students and families:
This week will see our first Open House of the year (Wednesday from 9 until 12). While almost all of you receiving this bulletin know what Deal offers, if you have friends with younger children or who are interested in checking out Deal, Wednesday is a great day to do so! I will also have my first Principal's Coffee in the Multipurpose Room on Thursday. This is a smaller setting for parents with questions about certain activities, parents who want to share ideas, or parents who just want to meet other parents while we are discussing school. The coffee will be at 10am.
As we near the end of the 1st advisory, it may be useful to review some of the opportunities teachers have in place to support your child's success. First, note that there are only five days left until the end of the advisory; the general practice is that students should have their work in on time as specified by the assignment. In those cases where a student is still working to complete something (within the time frame of the late work rules), there are a few things to keep in mind. Teams provide tutoring at least once a week. A couple of those teams have indicated there times here in the bulletin, but please check your team newsletters for your specific team's schedule. On occasion, teachers make themselves available after school, but this is at teacher's discretion. Lunchtime is another time when teachers may make themselves available; your child will know if this is the case. For the last few weekends we have also run a 7th and 8th grade Saturday Academy to provide additional support to students and some reteaching opportunities as well. Starting it this early in the school year is a new initiative for Deal; we want to make sure that students have the time they need - especially if they need additional support - as much as possible. Our teachers have reported great success for these first few Academies; they will start up again once we are into the 2nd advisory. Note that we will be updating Edline more frequently around the end of the advisory (the schedule is posted below). This will allow you and your child to see the results of assignments on grade reports to get a better gauge of whether everything is on track. There are many more assignments on Edline as we are ending the advisory then there were at the mid-point; the grades you see now should be very reflective of your child's progress to date. Finally, please use the Edline reports to check in with your child about their grades. Students should be able to tell you what their grades are in any course; if not, review Edline together and have them explain what they believe to be their progress. Note where work is not submitted and discuss a plan for its completion (if possible). If there are low marks on a summative assessment, see whether your child took advantage of the opportunity to relearn and be reassessed for the work. This is part of the work we are doing together to get them ready to be their own best advocates.
James Albright
NB. School ends at 12:15 on Friday, so that teachers have the remainder of the day to finish up their grade books. Don't forget to pick up your students, or to have a plan in place for their afternoons. Please help us keep them safe.

Students using the W45, D31, D33 and D34 will be affected in the afternoon on the way home from school.

The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will begin rotating lanes closures on Military Road, NW, from Oregon Avenue to 14th Street, starting Monday, October 5th at 7:30 am, weather permitting.

Alice Deal 
Have you lost something during the school day? Check out the lost and found section of the website ( http://alicedeal.org/lost-found/) for photos of items found in common areas at Deal, including in the cafeteria, field, and gallery. Lost items will be kept for approximately two weeks before they are donated. To claim an item, please ask a staff member in the cafeteria to guide you to the lost-and-found. We make an effort to identify labeled items and make announcements for students to pick these up in the Welcome Center. Please help us by putting your full name on all lunch boxes, back-packs, and other items you bring to school on a regular basis.
Don't see what you've lost? Most classrooms have individual lost-and-found areas. Consider checking in with your teachers. You can also stop by the lost-and- found in the cafeteria as not all items may be pictured. |
World Language Trips - General Update |
|
World Language Scholarships
Many families have asked about the availability of scholarships for our world language trips. We will again offer scholarships for select students. Funding for these scholarships is provided by the ADCA, individual family contributions (thank you!), and funding set aside by the Chancellor for student trips. Here is how it will work:
1. After the end of 1st advisory, every 8th student who could be enrolled on a World Language trip (not the UK/Italy trip, however) will have their grades reviewed.
2. Students earning a B or better in their World Language class and who receive federal aid (WIC, FARMS, other - we maintain this list) will be offered the chance for a scholarship.
3. Students will be asked to complete an application, write an essay, and submit the package by a set date. All students who qualify will be offered a partial scholarship for the trip associated with their language of study. This has typically been $1,500, or roughly 50 - 60% of the total trip cost. This is regardless of whether they have already signed up or not.
Families who do not qualify for federal support but are still interested in support at some level should contact Principal Albright at james.albright@dc.gov. Families in need have been offered $500 in years past (though this has varied based on the total amount available).
Because scholarship funding comes from a variety of sources, eligible families should not anticipate the funding to come up front; support is funded very close to the actual trip.
Please direct enrollment questions to the trip leader for your student; direct scholarship questions to Mr. Albright.

New: Speech and Debate Results
The speech and debate team hosted 15 schools from throughout the metropolitan area for a speech tournament. Competing against almost 200 high school students our Vikings showed that when it comes to creating strong arguments, eloquent presentations, and compelling performances age is no obstacle. Special shout-outs go to the following national championship qualifiers: - Jonah Docter-Loeb - 2nd place, Impromptu Speaking and 6th place, Declamation Speaking
- Aiden Moorehead and Marina Pariser - 6th place, Duo Interpretation
- Josh Landweber - 4th place, Impromptu Speaking
- Layla Behbehani - 5th place, Extemporaneous Speaking

Special thanks to all of the parents and students who volunteered to make the tournament possible. It was the overwhelming consensus of coaches and students in attendance that the tournament was a hospitable and rewarding experience.
New: Art from the Heart
Art from the Heart meets each Wednesday from 3:30 to 4:30 in R109. One example of what the club does took place last week. Several members of Art-From-The-Heart took a trip to The Washington Home (a community hospice center) after school, where they delivered many original paintings they'd made, which will be distributed to patients and residents. This after-school activity meets weekly to enjoy snacks and great conversation as they create original artwork to be delivered to individuals in hospitals, nursing homes and hospices in our local community to remind them that they are thought of and to bring them a ray of sunshine. All are invited to join to serve our community in this special way.
New: Upcoming Edline Update

NHD Parent Night!National History Day is a wonderful learning experience for our 8th grade students and an important part of their history class. Join us this Wednesday, October 27th at 6:30 pm to learn how to best support your student with their National History Day project.
High School Applications
Eighth grade students applying to high schools will likely need transcripts and letters of recommendation from teachers, counselors, and admin at Deal. Here are a few tips to ensure the process goes smoothly for students and staff:
Requesting a Transcript
Most applications will ask for a transcript or school records. Requests should be sent to Ms. White in writing at least two weeks prior to the submission deadline. If your student applies to multiple schools, please gather all requests to submit at one time. Requests should include stamped envelopes for mailing.
Requesting Recommendations
Who - Start by thinking about the best teachers to attest to your strengths and positive attributes. Some schools require specific subject teachers to write the recommendation; be aware of this before you ask.
Prepare - Gather the recommendation forms and fill out all pertinent information. Prepare an addressed and stamped envelope for each requested recommendation for. All recommendations will be placed in the mail by the individual teacher or by your counselor.
Ask - Ask the individual if they would be willing to write your recommendation. Tell them when it needs to be completed and mailed in. It is also a good practice to send a follow-up email to the teacher thanking them for taking the time to do this for you. This email will help you keep track of who is submitting recommendations for you and also help with follow-up.
Grow - Use the experience of asking for a letter of recommendation to help you grow your communication skills. This will come in handy when advocating for yourself in high school.
