Dear Parent/Caregiver,
The West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) is asking your permission for your child to take a survey about their math education. We want feedback from students to identify which parts of math education are going well for them and others they feel could be better. This feedback will help the WVDE plan supports for the 2024-2025 school year.
The survey will take 10 to 20 minutes, and we are asking teachers to give the surveys at school. It is anonymous and confidential. Your child will not be asked for their name, and their individual responses will not be shared. Taking the survey is as safe as any other school-related work your child would do on any normal day. If your child experiences any discomfort while taking the survey, they may stop at any time and address their concerns to their teacher. There are no rewards or payment for participating, and there are no penalties for not participating. Although your child may not benefit directly, their feedback may help the WVDE provide better support to help WV students and schools.
If you allow your child to participate in the survey, please write their name below, sign your name, and return this form to your child’s teacher. When the teacher gives students the survey link, your child will be asked if they want to take the survey and they are free to opt out. If you do not want your child to take the survey, you may ignore this form.
Student’s Name

Date
For questions about the math program we are studying, you may contact Tim Flatley (tflatley@k12.wv.us). For questions about the study, you may contact Zach Paitsel (zachary.paitsel@k12.wv.us). This study has been reviewed and approved by the WVDE Institutional Review Board (IRB-WVDE-055).
If you do not wish for your child to participate in this, please send note with student tomorrow or call by 9:00 am.
Summer break is just around the corner!
Summative assessment testing begins on Wednesday with 8th grade. 7th and 6th grade will test the following week. If you are going to be absent, please see office to arrange testing. Please get rest, eat a good breakfast and try your hardest!
We will be collecting, inventorying and invoicing laptops on May 20th. Students will be billed for lost device, lost charger, broken keyboard and/or broken screen. Invoices will be coming from our IT department if you did not purchase insurance at the beginning of the year.
For any 8th grade student interested in joining marching band next year, there will be a parent meeting at PCHS on May 8 at 7 pm.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to the staff of MMS! Thank you for all that you do for our students, staff and families!
