Students have been told not to gather and wait near the tennis courts, not to walk in the driveway to get to a car and not to cross Holland Road to get in a car. All parents are asked to stay in line and drive to the designated waiting areas before loading their children. Loading in any other area is not supervised and could be very dangerous for our students! Please be aware that our driveways and parking lot areas are under police jurisdiction. Please follow all posted signs when on campus. Thank you very much for your support and cooperation in providing the safest conditions for our students! SPECIAL NOTE: PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT NO STUDENT SUPERVISION IS PROVIDED BY STAFF MEMBERS IN THE TEACHERS’ PARKING LOT!!!! WE REQUEST THAT ALL STUDENTS WAIT IN THE WAITING AREA FOR THEIR RIDES. PLEASE DO NOT DOUBLE PARK OR PARK BEHIND A PARKED CAR WHILE IN THE TEACHERS’ PARKING LOT!!!! EARLY DISMISSALS VISITORS Early dismissals for students are approved until 2:45 p.m. each day. No class will be interrupted between 2:45 and 3:15 p.m. for early dismissals. Please send a note for early dismissals, stating the time, so that your child can be waiting for you in the office when you arrive. All parents and other persons visiting Mauldin Middle School are reminded to come to the main office to sign in and to receive a Visitor's Pass. Please wear the Visitor's Pass whenever visiting our school. This request is made for safety and security reasons.

Students are learning about characterization, author’s style, similes and metaphors, and some bullying issues that take place in the novel. In order to make this book “come alive” in the classroom, the students are learning to experience the jumping rope activity of double dutch. Ms. Deas’ classes are reading “A Wrinkle in Time" and they will be creating their own Utopia. The students will create their own world on poster board, or other medium. The world can be a planet, island, or country that is meant to be perfect. The students will "invent" a story behind their world and include a name of their country, a currency, education system, government, a motto, a map, language, and general living conditions. Students will then present their "Utopia" to the class. MATH DEPARTMENT UPDATES Is it third quarter already? You bet! By now, most parents have been exposed to the phrase “Common Core” or maybe “ACT ASPIRE” (the name of the test to replace ELA and MATH PASS Testing in late April 2015). The purpose of adopting the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) is to raise the bar in all math classrooms to ensure that our students are receiving a relevant and rigorous education. Your child will be better prepared to meet the demands of college and/or the work place in the 21st century. As we approach the season of registration for the 2015-2016 school year, please respect your child’s math placement for next year. If you do have a need for placement information, do not hesitate to email or call your current math teacher for specifics. Keep in mind that each math course has detailed enrollment requirements including minimum MAP and prior PASS scores that must be met. Continue to encourage your child to go above and beyond the classroom assignments and to search further, dig deeper, and take personal work to the next level of success from the content being taught each and every day. Make connections between yesterday’s lesson and what’s coming ahead tomorrow. The Common Core curriculum EXPECTS every student to be inquisitive and challenge themselves harder than ever before! This rigorous adventure is what keeps Mauldin Middle soaring high in the academic rankings and it takes you (their parents) to help our staff elevate your child’s academic successes to the highest possible level with each unit of study. The new math course in 6th grade this year – Math 6/7/8 – seems to be preparing those high-ability students for 7th grade Algebra I as planned. The “Math 6 – Math 7 – Math 8” path of study seems to be the place for most of our students and the flow of content allows a deeper investigation within each grade level to help our students build the strongest math foundation possible for high school success. The two year Math 6/7 and Math 7/8 continues to provide the most challenging curricula to insure those students are ready to meet the rigor of a high school course while in middle school. Also, our school has participated in an inclusion model this year for those students who have needed extra help in math topics from prior years in all three grades. Mr. Harris would like to welcome his Spring 2015 student teacher – Mr. Kenny Morgan – as he will be working with Team 7-2 through mid-May 2015. SPECIAL EDUCATION NEWS Ms. Perry's and Mr. McLeer's classes along with Be a Fan and Mauldin Middle School's Basketball team members will participate in a 3 on 3 unified basketball tournament on February 13, 2015, at the YMCA on Cleveland Park.

RELATED ARTS EIGHTH GRADE DANCE The MMS Related Arts Department would like to welcome four new student interns as we begin the second semester. They are all college seniors from area universities. Mr. Jordan Best, from Rock Hill, SC, attends Furman, and is a percussion specialist and is interested in becoming a band director. He is happy to be working with Mr. Kilgus this semester. Mr. Kris Briggs is from Presbyterian College and has an emphasis in violin. He is a resident of Greenville and plans on becoming a middle or high school music director. He is interning this semester with Mr. Gencarelli. Mr. Graham McBride also attends Furman. From Spartanburg, he is a brass specialist including the trombone and the euphonium. He also plans to be a middle or high school band director. He will be working with Ms. Poston. Mr. Josh Sparkman attends Bob Jones University and is a piano and vocal education major. From New Hampshire, he will be traveling for the WILDS camp for a year following graduation before pursuing further education in composition. He will be working with Mrs. Rhodes. The eighth grade dance will be held Friday, May 29, 2015, from 7:00 - 10:00 p.m. for Mauldin Middle School students only. Students do not have to have a date and do not have to wear formal attire to attend. However, dressy outfits are required; no jeans, t-shirts, or sneakers will be allowed. WORLD LANGUAGUES How do historical influences affect the food that people eat? That is the question that 8th grade Spanish I students are exploring along with the Puerto Rican Culture. People normally enjoy a variety of foods without hesitation or thought of how that food came about. When the Europeans came to the Americas, they introduced beef, poultry, pork, dairy, and wheat among many other foods. On the other hand, Europeans took with them many vegetables and corn. The combination of both worlds is what allows us to enjoy the wonderful foods we have today. For the third nine weeks, Spanish I students will also be learning to talk about their family. At the end of the month of February, Spanish I students will put into practice what they have learned thus far. Students will be able to talk about each member of their family, their age, birthday, personality, physical appearance, likes and dislikes, and of course, their favorite food. This dance is a great way to end the school year and to end your child's experience at Mauldin Middle School! SCHOOL STORE Did you know MMS has its own school store? We have many last minute needs for our students, including notecards, notebook paper, pens, pencils, and erasers. We also sell MMS Spirit Wear and snacks! Help support the MMS PTA and let your students know about us! THE MANE EVENTS The Mane Events Morning Show is up and running. The Broadcast Journalism class creates and airs a live morning news show each day for the students and faculty. Their broadcasts are uploaded to schooltube.com where they can be viewed by searching for “The Mane Events + the date of the show.” It includes the weather, student interest stories, student news, photographs, announcements, and, of course, the corny joke of the day! Be sure to visit School Tube and tune in to see what’s in the news! NEWS FROM THE SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT All of our students are fully engaged in learning the history of the world, here are some of the highlights: In 6th grade, Mrs. Brown’s classes have been studying the Ancient Roman Empire. To help them study the content and review for their test, students made board games. They then had the chance to play each other in the games which was not only fun for them but helped them review the material they had been taught. In 7th grade, students are studying World War I. Students always look forward to the study of the World Wars. In Mrs. Beck’s class, to show what they have learned about the war, students will make a digital journal as if they are a World War I soldier. The journal will include all types of elements from the war such as the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, living in the trenches, uniforms, weapons, etc. This will all be done through a Google app so we are incorporating 21st century skills which will make it fun for the students as well as educational. In 8th grade, Mrs. Barefoot’s classes have enjoyed having Ms. Catie Norman from Clemson University who is in the student-teaching phase of getting her Masters in Education. She has done an excellent job in the classroom and even outside the classroom as well. Ms. Norman has been an intricate addition to the MMS’ Youth in Government Program. She has been a part of Youth in Government since she was in high school and her wealth of knowledge is one of the reasons we were so successful at the conference this year. Mrs. Rigoli's classes have just passed through the Antebellum Period where students protested the Denmark Vessey Trial, The Trail of Tears, The Creation of the Cotton Gin, and several other "offensive issues" of the time. On the other hand, we had many supporters of the abolitionist movement, the freeing of Fredrick Douglas, Manifest Destiny, and other Antebellum high points. Currently, the students are facing down the staggering facts and statistics of the Civil War. Weekly quizzes on vocabulary and essential questions, coupled with the use of a modified Cornell Note strategy is showcasing each student's ability to dig in to material and pull from it a greater knowledge. Lastly, all classes participated in the National Geographic Society Geography Bee upon returning from their holiday break. Students went through seven rounds of questions to test their knowledge of geography from around the world. Congratulations to our classroom winners! 6th Grade Mrs. Peterson Addison Selig Max Tingom Immanuel Frist Josh Kulp Morgan Dailey Mr. Eddie Jackie Sanchez Daniel Brunken Mason Varnadore Annie Arritt Kelsey Parson Mrs. Parris Maddie Reed Kayla Khath Devin Gwinn Cody Vogel Brian Bogdanski 7th Grade Mrs. Sanders Anthony Milani Braiden Weldon Nicholas Smith Megan Doherty Ryleigh Blume Mrs. Beck Lindsay Taylor Ethan Brown Aaron Kulp D’Auviyon Johnson Nate Natale Mrs. Shuler Wesley Molizon Connor Stevens Sasha Santos Miranda Austin Jada Heyward Each classroom winner competed against each other in their grade level. 6th Grade Winners 8th Grade Mrs. Barefoot Alberto Osuna Connor Westmoreland Alex Piggford Josh Guy Emily Sippel Mrs. Rigoli Cameron Wilk Genna Cunningham Alex Imm Griffin Krieg Tariq Singleton Jackie Sanchez Maddie Reed Devin Gwinn The grade-level winners then competed in the school wide geography bee which resulted in three top students. In first place was seventh grader, Aaron Kulp; in second place was eighth grader, Griffin Krieg; and in third place was sixth grader, Devin Gwinn. 7th Grade Winners Aaron Kulp only missed one question throughout the entire Geography Bee to become the MMS Geography Bee winner. He has taken a test from National Geographic Society to see if he qualifies for the state geography bee. The results will not be known until mid-to late February. Aaron Kulp Nicholas Smith Anthony Milani 8th Grade Winners Connor Westmoreland Alex Piggford Griffin Krieg Congratulations to all of these students and a special good luck to Aaron Kulp as he represents Mauldin Middle School.
