MESSAGE FROM MR. BERGERON

Gladiator Nation,

I want to remind families to not park in any business parking lot around Goff Middle School for drop-off or pick-up. Students can be dropped off or picked up on Vine St, Carter Ave, or Pullen Ave via the blue line.

ACCESS testing began last week for our MLL students. We have had phenomenal attendance and effort from our students. This is a testament to our students, staff, and families. Thank you as we continue to finish this important assessment for our MLL students.

As a reminder from last week, all Goff students will take the winter i-Ready Diagnostic beginning on February 1st. The i-Ready Diagnostic is an adaptive assessment that adjusts the questions that are asked dependent on each student. If a student answers questions correctly then the questions will increase in difficulty. Students are not given a grade for this diagnostic but it help tailor a child’s individual pathway to build skills. For more information please visit the i-Ready family center.

On Friday, January 27th Goff Middle School will once again offer the snacks2go program in conjunction with Aramark. This will allow our students to purchase healthy snacks. This program will continue twice per month. Only cash will be accepted

Finally, I want to once again remind families that the first semester comes to a close on January 26th. This will conclude the first half of the school year and this grade will determine credit. The minimum passing grade is 65. Students who do not receive credit will be enrolled in a credit recovery course beginning in February with more information to follow. Please be sure to check your child’s grades on Skyward and contact the appropriate staff member should any questions arise.
