Hello Spartan Families, 

A special thank you to all of the parents who were able to attend last week's Open House despite all of the weather challenges. Please reach out to your student's teacher if you were not able to attend. 

The information that was shared by our counselors at Open House was shared in more detail at the Hybrid Parent meeting on Friday. The same meeting is being rescheduled for this Tuesday for our Spanish speaking parents due to the previous meeting being canceled due to the snow day. We are creating a voice-over of the PowerPoint presentation. The PPT and voice-over will be sent out next week and will provide assistance to parents with the upcoming Elective Registration.  
Elective Registration for rising 10th & 11th grades will take place February 10 – 14More information to follow.

We ask that families please complete our Climate Survey in the attachments below. There are only 22 questions, and it will take about 5-10 minutes to complete. We would like to get at least 30% of our families to complete the survey. All schools have to complete it. 




The Student Behavior Contract Letter was shared with all parents/guardians at This is Sparta. All students received a copy on the first day of school and it was reviewed with students during the grade level assemblies. A copy of the letter is in the attachment below and will remain for the remainder of the school year. Please review the letter with your student.

All-state auditions are competitive events for young musicians who perform in band, orchestra, or choirStudents prepare challenging etudes and excerpts to perform them before a panel of judges, in two separate rounds of auditions. The highest-scoring students are selected statewide to participate in an all-state ensemble, which is a prestigious honor. 
 
Marlee Carter, an 11th grade student, won all-state finals to become one of the members of this high-status orchestra. Her journey to the All-State competition involved months of rigorous practice, honing her technical abilities, and refining musical expression. This is year we had four Spartans who passed the first auditions to the finals. Marlee Carter, Yusef Henry, Taya Park and Jai Yadav. Kudos to them all.


Please help congratulate the students below for participating in the GMEA District 12 Honor Chorus last weekend under the direction of Dr. Kari Adams from The University of Missouri.
