Weekly Updates
CAO – The biannual competition of academic knowledge is taking place this year. Students will compete and test their knowledge against other students at the site and District level. SRTMS traditionally does very well in the competition that is open to 4th-8th grade. Please read the COA informational flyer.
Spelling Bee- The annual Spelling Bee permission slip forms went home with the students this week. Mrs. Bennett will give the students the spelling list when the form is returned.
Coffee with the Principal: Coffee with the Principal will take place at 8:15 AM on November 22 in the MPR. Please send any questions to Mr. Borchard by Tuesday.
Girls Scout Holiday Gift Drive – One of our local Girl Scout troops, based at SRTMS, will be conducting a toy drive from December 2-13. We will have collection boxes out in front of the school. More information to come soon.
Lock Down Drill – We will have a lockdown drill this Wednesday at 10:45 AM. The drill was scheduled well before the events that occurred at Saugus High School. Students practice the procedures for a lockdown. The staff takes the opportunity to assess the drill and make any necessary changes to improve the safety of the campus. We don’t usually let students know when a drill is upcoming, but we wanted to make sure everyone knows about the drill so they will not be frightened.
School Tours – We are starting our monthly school tours for new families. They happen on the third Tuesday of each month. Our tour for this month is Tuesday, November 19 at 8:30 AM and 9 AM. Tell your neighbors and friends.
PTO Afterschool Classes – After school classes continue this week.
Middle School Sports
Football: Game Monday at CAPE and Wednesday at Mesa.
Volleyball: Games at PVSEA on Tuesday and Thursday. Practice on Monday and Wednesday.
Camarillo Christmas Parade: We are looking for five to eight volunteers that would like to walk in the Camarillo Christmas Parade and represent SRTMS on December 14, 2019. The route is just under two miles long. You’ll need to make sure your child can easily walk that distance. We will meet at Los Primeros at 9 AM and the parade starts at 10 AM. We are usually done by 11 AM. If you are interested, please return the permission slip form by December 7.
