JVS MATH TEAM NEWS!
Middle School Math Team members at JVS compete in the Continental Mathematics League. They compete in the Euclidean Division which requires strong reading comprehension and analytical reasoning skills. Participation offers not only the opportunity to improve problem solving skills, but the chance to compete academically with other students at the same grade level from schools all over the United States. There are typically over 100 schools competing in the Continental Mathematics League at each grade level. Competition questions may be administered to dozens of students at each participating school, so this means there could be well over 1,000 students competing at each grade level. Here at JVS we have 21 middle school students in grades 5-8 participating in the math league.
There are 5 meets per year, one per month, from November through March. During a meet, each student works independently on the problem set for 30 minutes. A problem set includes 6 non-routine word problems. Both a team score and individual scores are recorded for each school for each meet. To score a perfect paper on a problem set for one meet is a real accomplishment. This year, JVS sixth grader Jonathan B has had a perfect score at every meet for the entire season – one of only thirty-six students in the nation to do so at the 6th grade level! This means Jonathan is ranked as a “National Student Leader”. In the New England Region, Jonathan is one of only three students who have perfect scores. The other students are from Massachusetts and Connecticut.
The fifth meet of the season was on Thursday, March 6. The standings as of this final meet are:
Grade 5 Meet 5 High Score: Naia O. (with a perfect score!)
Grade 5 Highest Cumulative Score: Naia O
Grade 6 Meet 5 High Score: Jonathan B (with a perfect score!)
Grade 6 Highest Cumulative Score: Jonathan B (with a season perfect score!)
Grade 7 Meet 5 High Score: Katherine M, Aubree B (both with perfect scores!)
Grade 7 Highest Cumulative Score: Katherine M
Grade 8 Meet 5 High Score: Alexis B
Grade 8 Highest Cumulative Score: Lilith EB and Alexis B (tied!)
Congratulations to All!

As cold and flu season roll in, it can be helpful to have some guidance on when to send a child to school or when it may be best to keep them home. Attendance Works has great resources to help parents and schools around this issue.

AOS 93 has one or more schools that participate in Special Provision II or Community Eligible Provision for school meals. This alternative is referred to as Provision II or CEP. All students enrolled in schools listed below may participate in the School Breakfast Program and the National School Lunch Program at no charge. Household applications are not required to receive free meals this year but Economic Status Forms will be distributed by the school to collect household income data for other programs that require this information, such as Federal Title programs. The Economic Status Forms are also available in the online registration on the "Agreements" page.
All students will be served breakfast and lunch at no charge at Bristol Consolidated, Great Salt Bay, Jefferson Village, Nobleboro Central and South Bristol Schools. For additional information please contact your student's school.
Studies show that children who are not hungry perform better in school. By providing both breakfast and lunch at no cost to students, we are helping to create a better learning environment.
The school meals that we serve follow U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines for healthy school meals. The School Breakfast and Lunch Programs cannot succeed without your support; please encourage your children to participate in the school meals programs.
The application requesting economic information supports many programs at our schools which helps reduce the local tax. Please complete and return the forms. Only one per family is needed.
