MSA Science – Grade 8
MSA Science testing will take place
on April 13 and 14, 2015.
Should you be unable to pick up your child from school if
he/she is sick or needs to leave early for an appointment,
please keep in mind that school staff can only dismiss your
child to someone listed on the Personal Data & Emergency
Record form the school has on file. You can use the Family
Portal to view who is authorized to pick up your child. If
you need to add someone to your child’s emergency
contacts, you can send a note to the office or have your
child pick up a new form to be completed. If an unexpected
emergency arises and you must send someone not listed as
an emergency contact to get your child, we must have your
written permission in order to dismiss your child to this
individual.
Student Absences
The Parent Link notifies parents when a student is
marked absent that day. Parents are encouraged
to listen to the Parent Link messages. If your
child has been mistakenly marked absent, it is
important that the office be notified right away
so that staff can follow up and correct any error.
If your child arrives to school late, they must
come to the office to sign in; otherwise, their
name remains on the absence list.
Student Parking
Students are not permitted to park behind the gym at any
time. This includes student athletes during practices and
games/matches. Please park in the student parking lot in
front of the school. Thank you.
Wicomico County Public Schools is on Facebook!!! Please “like” the page to see the latest
news from the school system, photos, weather announcements, and other activities.

Award for Exemplary Achievement
At the Professional Development Schools National Conference earlier this month, Salisbury

morale” and “permeating spirit of reciprocal support and development” within the partnership. Also
applauded was the full immersion of teacher candidates in PDS initiatives; the advocacy of school
leaders; the establishment of a community of learners; and the congruent purpose and vision for the
partnership between teacher candidates, interns, beginning teachers, veteran educations,
administrators, and faculty.

Changes to Wicomico County Public Schools Calendar for the 2014-2015 School Year
Maryland Superintendent of Schools Dr. Lillian Lowery has notified Superintendent Dr. John Fredericksen
that the request by Wicomico County Public Schools for a waiver of three missed school days has been
approved, making it possible for Wicomico to end the 2014-2015 school year on Wednesday, June 17.
The last three days (June 15, 16 and 17) will be early dismissal days. The state superintendent, in granting
the waiver request, said Wicomico has met the minimum threshold for instructional hours, and that it has
modified the school calendar to make up six of the nine days missed due to weather and road conditions.
Wicomico’s waiver request letter included the change of a professional day to a regular school day
(April 7) and the extension of the school year by five days (June 11, 12, 15, 16, 17) to make up six of the
nine missed days. The Board approved the following calendar revisions last month and at the March
Board meeting:
Tuesday, March 31: Early dismissal day for students, with schools dismissing two hours early for
students to give teachers time for professional development work. (This had previously been scheduled
as a full school day, but is now an early dismissal day.)
Tuesday, April 7: Regular school day (Professional day on that date moved to June, after the end of the
school year). Wicomico students and schools will now have a regular school day on Tuesday, April 7, to
make up one missed day. April 7 had been scheduled as a professional day, with part of the day for SLOs
(Student Learning Objectives). Now, teachers will have time on March 31 to work on their SLOs. Parents
and guardians of students who will be absent on April 7 due to prior family plans must provide the school
with written notice before April 7 for the student to have an excused absence for that school day.
Thursday, June 11-Wednesday, June 17: Wicomico students will make up five of the nine missed school
days by attending on these days, as stated on the approved 2014-2015 calendar. June 15, 16 and 17 will
be early dismissal days.
Friday, June 19: Last day for teachers
Note: Bennett Middle School students will end the school year on Friday, June 5, as time is needed to
relocate teachers, staff and equipment to the new Bennett Middle and to begin the decommissioning of
the current Bennett Middle School.

Guidance Update
Scheduling: Our counselors will be going into classes starting on March 30 to begin the scheduling process for next
year. General information will be shared with the class, and then students will meet individually with his/her
counselor during April and possibly into May. Juniors: if you are planning on applying to a MD system college or
university, you must take a non-trivial math your senior year. Many out-of-state colleges may require this too –
check those you are interested in. Freshmen and below: you must enroll in a math course every year you are in
high school. It is the law now, so there is no getting around it. Our counselors will help you plan this out.

ATEX: Forms for students (8th or 9th grade) interested in signing up to take the half-year ATEX course through
the Career and Technology Education (CTE) Center at Parkside are available through Guidance and should
be turned in as soon as possible.

Firefighter/EMT & Nursing Assistant: These are one-year CTE programs. Students do not go through ATEX
for these programs. Any student interested can sign-up outside of Mrs. Shiles’ office.

Cosmetology: This is a three-year program at CTE. Ninth graders could have signed up through ATEX this
year already. If you are interested and did not do ATEX, then the sign-up is available outside of Mrs. Shiles’
office.

Dual Enrollment: A student must be 16 years of age or older, have at least a 2.75 GPA and provide their
own transportation. Students will sign up with Mrs. Shiles. She will complete a dual enrollment form.
Students must apply to Wor-Wic (this can be done at any time). Wor-Wic is allowing us to offer their
diagnostic test to our students interested in dual enrollment and seniors going there next year for full enroll
right here at Mardela. The library has been booked for this on April 23 at 9:40 a.m. If you cannot make this
time, the diagnostic test can be taken in Mrs. Shiles office later that day or within the following week. Signups for the diagnostic test will be posted later in April. As always, students can still go to Wor-Wic and take
the diagnostic. (Students with 550 on the reading and math sections of the SAT do not have to take the
accuplacer diagnostic test for Wor-Wic.) After this is taken, students will then take his/her dual enrollment
from to Mr. Webster in admissions and schedule classes. The earlier the better! A copy of your schedule
MUST be given to Mrs. Shiles as soon as you get it. Your senior schedule cannot be finalized over the
summer without it.
Naviance: Keep using this college and career research site. Our counselors will continue to help students utilize the
many resources available through to our students, including college and career searches, personality tests, resume
building, college applications and scholarship searches. This month juniors will be working on building their resumes
and continuing to search for colleges
Scholarships: Keep the applications coming! Remember you can find the county scholarship list under the colleges
tab in Naviance. Then select “scholarship list.” If you select “deadline;” Naviance will sort the scholarships by date
making it easier to see the ones due soon. Remember, there are a few scholarships available to students in middle
through eleventh grade; you can search that too.

Wicomico County Board of Education
DRESS CODE POLICY
Approved March 9, 2010
Schools have three primary responsibilities with respect to students. The first responsibility is to foster academic
achievement. The second responsibility is to create and maintain a school environment that is safe, orderly, and
conducive to learning. The third responsibility is to promote and support positive community standards and values
such as civility, respect for others, self-respect, citizenship and other constructive character traits and behaviors.
Without these, teaching and learning will be negatively impacted.
Students have the responsibility to choose their attire, arrange their personal appearance, and maintain their personal
hygiene in a manner that is safe, healthy, non-offensive, and conductive to the educational process. The student dress
code is intended to create a positive school climate of respect for self and others, reduce the occurrence of discipline
problems, and maintain safety and order in the school so that effective teaching and learning can take place.
School staff members have the responsibility to report violations of the Dress Code Policy and respectfully address
students who are out of compliance with the policy. Administrators have the responsibility to investigate these reports,
encourage students to make better choices in attire, and assign appropriate consequences for infractions. It is also the
responsibility of the administrators and the staff to maintain an awareness of attire related to gang affiliation so that
the Dress Code Policy can be implemented effectively. A teacher or staff member is expected only to report violations
and is never expected to measure or touch a student they feel is in violation of the Dress Code Policy. Specific units of
measure for widths and lengths are provided to ensure that the policy is measurable and to alleviate misinterpretations
of the policy.
This policy shall apply to all students during the regular school day and at such other times as designated by the
principal. This policy shall apply in all school buildings and on all school grounds, on all school buses and other school
vehicles, and at all school-related, or Wicomico County Board of Education sponsored activities, including, but not
limited to school field trips and school-sponsored events.
Principals may grant exceptions to the dress code for disabilities or sincerely held religious beliefs if such
accommodations are reasonable and do not pose a hardship for the school. Principals may also grant exceptions for
specific, school-sponsored events or situations. This policy includes Physical Education class attire. Guidelines for sports
and extra-curricular uniforms worn during the school day are at the discretion of the principal.
Decisions concerning any dress code issues which are addressed or inferred in this policy are ultimately at the discretion
of the building principal.
The complete Dress Code Policy can be found at http://www.wcboe.org/file/DressCode-1114.

What is the 24 Game?
The 24 Game is an exciting math game that students will be playing. Playing this game is a great way for students to
practice their math facts. Several versions of the game are available using different size numbers and mathematical
operations. Students in 6th grade will be using the Double Digits version and students in 7th and 8th grades will be using
the Integers version. These games are currently being introduced in your child’s classroom.
The students will be provided with many opportunities to play and practice the game in class. Once they are familiar with
the game, the cards, and the rules, a classroom tournament will be held using groups of four students until one winner is
determined from each classroom. The winners from each classroom will then compete against each other to determine
the grade level winner who will then represent the school at the county tournament in May.
The 24 Game is available at the Educational Supply Store or www.math24.com for anyone wishing to purchase a game
to play at home. They are also available for sign-out at the Wicomico County Library and their satellite locations during
your visit.
Description of the Double Digits Version
(Grade 6)
Each card consists of a wheel that contains 4 numbers printed in black. The object of the game is to make the number
24 from the four numbers on the game card. You can add, subtract, multiply and/or divide. You must use all of the
numbers on the wheel, but use each number only once. Many of the cards have multiple solutions. The cards are worth
1, 2 or 3 points, based on difficulty. The dots in the corners of the cards show the point value. Students must state the
final solution first, then give the steps to how they solved the problem.
Example: One solution to the card shown is:
3 x 8 = 24; 24 ÷ 8 = 3, 6 + 2 = 8, 3 x 8 = 24
Description of the Integers Version
(Grades 7 & 8)
The Integers version is played exactly like the Double Digits version. The only difference is that one, two, three or all
four of the numbers will now be a negative number and the solution can be a negative or a positive 24.
Example: One solution to the card shown is:
27 + - 3 = 24; - 6 ÷ 2 = - 3, 3 x 9 = 27, 27 + - 3 = 24
When is the 24 Game County Tournament?
On Tuesday, May 20, 2014, at 6:00 pm in the Commons at Salisbury University, the county-wide 24 Game tournament
will be held. A representative from every grade level from each elementary school and middle school will compete for the
title of Math 24 Champion. There will be one champion from each grade level.
