Students in Ms. Muffley's math classes have been working on coordinate plane skills to be able to apply them to ratio relationships. They created these amazing examples of these concepts to reflect their wonderful creative abilities. Go Stingers!!!

Stinger Families, please remind your student(s) to keep up with their Chromebook during the school day, to charge it every night at home and to bring it to school every day. Chromebooks and chargers should not be left unattended anywhere because that could lead to expensive damages. Thank you! Go Stingers!!!

Stinger families, if students are not using their assigned phone pouch, the phone will be taken to the office and a parent or guardian must pick it up. It will not be given back to the student. Thank you! Go Stingers!!!

There is still time to purchase Chromebook insurance! This coverage is for the Chromebook itself, not the charger or bag. Those are $20 to replace. The deadline is Friday, Oct. 3. Please contact Traci Matthews, Maumelle Middle School Librarian, at tmatthews1379@pcssd.org if you have any type of Chromebook related questions. Thank you! Go Stingers!!!

Dr. Franco, our fabulous Spanish teacher, is excited to share some photos from the past three weeks in her classroom! During this time, students have been forging strong bonds while introducing them to basic Spanish concepts. One of the highlights was watching the students jump rope while singing the alphabet, a fun and active way to reinforce learning!
Students also explored vocabulary related to school supplies, and Dr. Franco created short videos using WICOR strategies to make lessons interactive and engaging. Go Stingers!!!

Maumelle Middle School will begin Chromebook distribution on Monday, Aug. 18 through Social Studies classes. This is quite a process and everyone's patience is very much appreciated. All students will be resetting their password and we are providing assistance with that process, as well. Chromebooks will go home with students every day, they should be charged at home every night and then brought back to school the next day ready for instructional use. Students are responsible for the care of their Chromebook, bag and charger. It is highly recommended that chargers stay at home because they get lost so often at school. Replacement chargers are $20. Replacement bags are $20. Insurance is also highly recommended and it is $25 per student for the entire school year. The link for insurance information is https://www.pcssd.org/page/chromebook-insurance. Please contact Traci Matthews, Maumelle Middle School Librarian, at tmatthews1379@pcssd.org if you have any type of Chromebook related questions. Thank you! Go Stingers!!!
