Parent/Teacher Conferences: Parent/Teacher conferences will be held on Tuesday, February 23rd and Thursday, March 4th from 4:00-7:30. Grades 6 and 8 will hold Student Led conferences. Your students will bring home a form for you to complete and return with your student to schedule your conference. Grade 7 and Unified Arts conferences will be made through the school office. We will begin to make appointments on the morning of Tuesday, February 16th. Please call 740-657-4300 to make your appointments.
Due to Parent/Teacher conferences, the BBBS meeting has been relocated to room 117E in the 8th grade hallway. Students can find Mr. Hinds or Ms. Hurst if they need help finding the room.
8th Graders: Your next D.C. payment of $175.00 is due by the 26th of February. Please send it to Prodigy Student Travel (with you child’s name and Shanahan Middle School in the memo box). Fundraising totals will be coming to you in the next several weeks as we are waiting on Kroger’s final totals. Fundraising totals should not impact many people’s second payments. If for some reason you accidently pay over the amount of the trip, Prodigy Student Travel will refund whatever the overage is to you.
I know many people are wondering about their fundraising totals for Washington D.C. Updates are coming in the next few weeks. Kroger changed their system and only sends out fundraising money twice a year, with reports ending on January 31 and July 31. Kroger is committed to having the paperwork and checks sent out one month after those dates. So the deadlines we worked with in the past are delayed. For most students, this should not impact your second D.C. payment of $175.00 sent to Prodigy Student Travel (with you child’s name and Shanahan Middle School in the memo box) by the 26th of February. If for some reason you pay over the amount of the trip, Prodigy will refund the overage to you.
Let me know if you have any questions
Thanks,

This is a fun and important week for raising funds for the SMS greenhouse!
