Please click here for Mrs. Hayes Social Studies Newsletter.The idea behind this newsletter is to keep 5th grade parents informed of what students are learning, events coming up, and reminders of important assignments and other miscellaneous happenings. The newsletter is created, designed, and written completely by the students. Editing is also done by the students with the help of Mrs. Hayes and our fantastic Technology Integrator, Theresa Berna.
Mrs. Berna has worked with students over the last few weeks to teach them the skills needed to put together this amazing newsletter. Students have worked very hard and we are so impressed with their creativity, cooperation, and dedication!
PLEASE REMEMBER - the 50 states geography test for 5th grade is THIS THURSDAY, March 17th! Time is almost here:-) Thank you to all who have reminded and encouraged your child to take a bit of time each day/week to study. So many students are really doing a wonderful job and they are learning wonderful studying habits and the upside is that they are learning so much more!

My name is Tod Silegy and I am starting my 22nd year at South Meadow School as Physical Education Teacher, Athletic Director, and Boys Soccer Coach and Girls Softball Coach.
To play a sport at the high school level or middle school level in the ConVal district, ALL athletes must take the Initial Impact Concussion Test. This test is not a competition and there is no score, but the test does create a baseline for each athlete’s brain when it is healthy.
Hopefully this will not happen, but if your child does receive a concussion that is verified by your primary care physician while playing a sport for SMS, your child would have to sit out practices and games until your primary care physician clears your child to resume participating. Once the primary care physician clears your child to resume play, your child would have to take the Post-Concussion Impact test. The Post-Concussion Impact Test would then be compared to your child’s Initial Impact Test Baseline, and if it compares well, your child would be allowed to resume play for SMS.
Please have your child take the Initial Impact Test at home, BEFORE March 28th.
Below is the link to take the Initial Impact Test. Your child should be in a quiet place that will be undisturbed until completed. Click on the link, then put in the Impact Test Code, then follow the prompts until you get to the “start test.”
Ideally a parent should help your child get through the first part of the test’s demographics. The test asks for name, birthdate, etc., but also questions about ADD, headaches, dizziness etc. My experience tells me many student athletes are not sure how to answer these questions. After the test is started, your child should be able to handle the test on their own.
In the end you do not have to do any emailing of results. Just sign out.
All information goes to and is stored in the ConVal Athletic Initial Impact Test data base.
This test is good for any other sport your child would like to play throughout their year at SMS, and the test is good for two years.

Dear 8th Grade Families,
We are excited to welcome your student to the ConVal Class of 2026!
The first step in the transition from middle school to high school will begin with an informational session
for parents/guardians on Thursday, March 3, at 6:00 pm.
In order to accommodate a larger audience, the session will be delivered virtually instead of
in person.
The link to access the Zoom was sent with original letter. If you need this link, please contact:ssmart@conval.edu
This program is for parents and guardians only, as the students will have their own meetings with us at
their school. The agenda for this program is:
Welcome
Athletics
Student Activities
Course Registration
Questions
On February 15, the high school counselors begin working with the Great Brook and South Meadow
eighth graders on selecting courses for next year. Independent school students will be invited to the
high school at another time for an information session. We are eager to meet our new Freshman class
and to work with them on choosing their classes.
We look forward to talking with you on March 3.
Sincerely,Terri Drogue
