TMEMS Information & Updates (4/19/24)

 

State Testing for 3rd-8th Grade!

Grades 3-8: Your child will test each morning April 22-25 (Monday-Thursday) for approximately an hour. They will be testing in both math and language arts on the NM-MSSA. These tests serve multiple purposes including helping to guide our instruction, representing our levels of academic achievement to the public, aiding in our recharter process, and helping prepare students for future academic success. 

 

Grades 5 and 8 Only: Your child will test each morning April 29-May 1 (Monday-Wednesday) for approximately an hour. They will be testing in Science on the NM-ASR.  

 

Students will need headphones- please talk to you child and ensure they still have their headphones from the supply list stored in their backpack or classroom. 

 

DONATIONS NEEDED: We would greatly appreciate any donations of wired headphones for testing. We have a very limited amount and are in great need of more wired headphones. If you can donate, please send them in to the front office as soon as possible. If you have any questions, email Ms. Piper, pcurry@tmesnm.com

 

Here are a few reminders:

*Schedule appointments and activities, where your child may miss school, in the afternoon during testing weeks. 

*Ensure that your child is well rested each day and has a good breakfast. 

*Have your child send in his/her instrument on their strings day, as they may still have class.

*Please remind your child that they cannot have any electronic devices (including smart watches, cell phones,  and bluetooth headphones) during testing. 

*Please make sure your student is dropped off on time, not later than 9:00am.

*If your student wants to bring headphones, they cannot be Bluetooth. They must have a cord. 

 

Middle School Students Only: Make sure your student brings their Chromebook and charger to school on Thursday, April 16, 2024 so that we can make sure it is updated, charged, and in good working order for testing. They will leave their Chromebook at the school through the end of testing. 

 

End of the Year Big Trips for 3rd-7th Grade

Fees for the end of the year field trips have been added to your child's account. If your child will not be participating, please send an email to Ms. Claudia at cinfante@tmesn.com to ask her to remove the fee from your child's account. 

 

If you do not see a fee in Infinite Campus, please disregard this notice. 

 

End of Year Balances

The end of the school year is fast approaching! Students cannot carry balances from one year to the next so please log in to your parent portal as soon as possible to view fees and begin paying down the balance so that your child's student account will be in good standing by the end of the year. 

 

Please reach out right away if you have questions or need help logging in to your parent portal. Contact Ms. Claudia, cinfante@tmesnm.com

Panorama Health and Wellness Survey

NMPED is collecting another Health and Wellness survey. We are asking that all of our students participate in the surveys, as their responses will provide invaluable insights into their experiences and how we can improve and adapt our district to their needs. If a student doesn't feel like they have enough information to answer a question, they will be able to skip the item altogether. The responses to these surveys will be completely confidential. We are partnering with a third-party vendor to support us in administering these surveys.

If you have any questions about the SEL survey, please don't hesitate to contact us at 505-796-0149. 

This survey is a requirement of NMPED, but parents can opt their student out of the survey. If you choose to opt your student out, please fill this Google Form out by May 1, 2024.
