📢 Berryville Middle School Families — Proficiency Support Days Are Coming Up! 📢
Proficiency Support Days give students extra time and help to master skills before semester grades are finalized. Students only attend the classes where they still need support — if they have already shown proficiency in a course, they do not need to report to that period. ✔️✏️
🗓 Wednesday, December 17
Students may attend Periods 1, 3, 5, and 7 if required.
🗓 Thursday, December 18
Students may attend Periods 2, 4, and 6 if required.
➡️ Students who stay on campus after 6th period Thursday will report to DRAFT from 1:35–3:15.
🗓 Friday, December 19
➡️ Make-up sessions will be available for anyone who still needs time to finish or improve work.
Failure to attend required Proficiency Support Days will result in Saturday School.
Students will be notified on December 11 whether they must attend each class, and teachers will provide guidance and comments as needed. ✔️📄
This is a great opportunity for students to strengthen their learning, finish missing work, and improve grades before semester end. Let’s finish strong, Bobcats! 💜🐾
📢 Familias de Berryville Middle School — ¡Se Acercan los Días de Apoyo de Competencia! 📢
Los Días de Apoyo de Competencia les brindan a los estudiantes tiempo adicional y ayuda para dominar las destrezas antes de que se finalicen las calificaciones del semestre. Los estudiantes solo asistirán a las clases donde aún necesitan apoyo — si ya han demostrado competencia en un curso, no necesitan presentarse a ese período. ✔️✏️
🗓 Miércoles, 17 de diciembre
Los estudiantes pueden asistir a los Períodos 1, 3, 5 y 7 si es necesario.
🗓 Jueves, 18 de diciembre
Los estudiantes pueden asistir a los Períodos 2, 4 y 6 si es necesario.
➡️ Los estudiantes que permanezcan en la escuela después del 6.º período el jueves deberán ir a DRAFT de 1:35–3:15.
🗓 Viernes, 19 de diciembre
➡️ Habrá sesiones de recuperación para cualquier estudiante que aún necesite tiempo para terminar o mejorar su trabajo.
No asistir a los Días de Apoyo de Competencia requeridos resultará en escuela el sábado.
Los estudiantes serán notificados el 11 de diciembre sobre a qué clases deben asistir, y los maestros proporcionarán orientación y comentarios según sea necesario. ✔️📄
Esta es una excelente oportunidad para que los estudiantes fortalezcan su aprendizaje, terminen trabajo pendiente y mejoren sus calificaciones antes del final del semestre. ¡Terminemos fuertes, Bobcats! 💜🐾
