I want to thank everyone who has replied to the survey, it really helps us to know what you think. Here are a couple of responses to some questions:
Many have replied that the parent conferences are not satisfactory. I would agree with you on this. The problem is that we can have three nights a year for this purpose. One is the Night of Excellence in the Spring, which has been shown to be very popular. This leaves two nights for the teachers to meet with the parents. Each teacher has over 100 students, usually 60 to 80 parents come on these evenings. With only 180 minutes available it would leave at best, 3 minutes per parent. This is certainly not enough time to hear everything you need to hear. If your student is having difficulties, please email the teacher and or set up a separate conference with them.
A divided question in regard to response was on communication. Many said it was very good, while some said they emailed and got no reply back. You should hear back from a staff member within 24 hours. If you have not, please call the office. We have had parents who email us and for some reason does not get through and others who had the wrong address. Be sure that all email look like w_hester@stoughtonschools.org
Newsletter. Please look on our website to see The Scoop. The PTSO also has one on their website. You can also pick one up in the office.
Buses: Many complaints here. Due to budget cuts these have been a real problem. There is also no late bus anymore, this was mainly cut due to the fact that few students rode it the last two years. (to save money as well) OMS does not have a lot to do with bussing and have no say on the routes.
I hope this helps a little. If you have suggestions and or comments, please feel free to email me so that I may get back with you. I really do appreciate your input. Thanks again.

| Be sure to take a few minutes and fill out the survey posted on our website. I really value what parents have to say and I am always looking for ways to improve the middle school. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. |

| Health organizations have told us that parents should keep students, who have had a fever of 101 or higher, home for at least 24 hour after the temperature has returned to normal. So far this year our absences have been at a normal rate. |

| Today we almost had a student hit by a car. When dropping your student off in the morning, do not stop on the opposite side of the street and let the student off. The student has to cross in front of your car and then cross two lanes of traffic. I |

| There was an article in the Boston Globe (5/19) saying that of the 600 people to take the MTEL Math test, only 27% passed. The article went on to say that this shows that teachers are not qualified to teach math in schools. I am happy to say that a |
