Concordant Rule for Testing (Scores Needed for Graduation)

To receive a Florida high school diploma, students must earn an Achievement Level of 3 or higher on the 10^th grade FSA ELA and the Algebra 1 EOC.  If students do not earn a Level 3 or higher on these assessments, they can meet each graduation requirement by earning a passing score on a concordant assessment.  Students need to know their cohort year (the year the student entered 9^th Grade) to understand which alternate scores apply to them.  Only students enrolled in high school will have a cohort year.

To see which cohort students are in, log into Parent/Student Portal, select the Grades tab.

Once the page loads, you will see the student’s Cohort Year.

Parents please pay close attention to the following dates to return devices to the school.  We must have the devices returned in order to prepare them for the 21-22 school year.  We appreciate your cooperation.

6^th grade device return = Monday, June 7 8:00 AM-12:00 PM

7^th grade device return = Monday, June 7 1:00 PM-4:30 PM

8^th grade device return = Tuesday, June 8 8:00 AM-12:00 PM

If you are unable to return the device on your assigned date, we will accept devices on the following date= Thursday, June 10 8:00 AM-12:00 PM

NOTE:  Please be patient during device drop off.  We must power on the device and make sure all equipment is in working order.  Please bring all power cords with you as well.  We will then have you sign off to acknowledge that we received the device and everything was returned and in working condition.

If you have children that are in different grade levels, please pick one of the dates and times to return multiple devices.  There is no need to come at separate times.

Current 6^th and 7^th graders, that do not return a device, will be not get a schedule for the 21-22 school year.  8^th graders moving on to high school, that do not return a device, will have an obligation placed on their record and will not be able to graduate high school until that obligation is fulfilled.

8^th Grade Uniform Trade In

The time has come for our 8^th grade Stingers to prepare to make the transition to high school.  Over the past three years, our students have collected many Bartow Middle School shirts that they may want to clear out of their closets.  Also, I’m sure they have some khaki pants or shorts they want to eliminate from their selection.  Well, we are happy to collect them and trade them for a day out of uniform.  Turn in any Bartow Middle School T-shirt, khaki pants without holes, tears or frays, and/or khaki shorts without holes, tears or frays.  All items are to be turned in to Room 201.

Every 3 items turned in at one time = 1 day out of uniform

Items will be collected May 24 – May 28.  Students can collect up to 6 days out of uniform Wednesday May 26 – Thursday June 3.

 ***Students can turn in their items and a wristband will be provided for the days they will be allowed to be out of uniform.
