Mr. Clark's Bengal Message for the week of 9/13/2020
Good Evening Bengal Family, this is Mr. Clark, Principal at Fuquay-Varina Middle School, with your weekly Bengal Message.
New Announcements
Thank you to everyone that attended our 1st virtual open house last week. We really enjoyed connecting with our families and getting to meet everyone. If you were unable to attend our open house, please don’t hesitate to email your child’s teacher for information about their course and expectations for virtual learning.
Health/P.E. Classes
Virtual PE will begin next week! The class will meet on WEDNESDAYS for Elective 1 and THURSDAYS for Elective 2 during normal class time. Students will find the Live PE link each morning posted on Google Classroom. Students will participate in fitness activities (no equipment required!) that focus on cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength, and flexibility. The Health/PE department asks that all students wear comfortable clothing, tennis shoes, and find a small open space free of safety hazards (furniture/tables/chairs). An Exit Ticket will be posted on Google Classroom concluding each PE class to track attendance and participation.
All students have been given ample information about Virtual PE over the past week. Please reach out to your child’s Health/PE teacher with any questions/concerns.
Powerschool
Information on how to register for powerschool in order to view your child’s grades was mailed home to parents at the beginning of the year. If you have not registered for powerschools, we ask that you do so because this will serve as our primary way of communicating your child’s grades to you. If you did not receive the information or you are having problems registering for powerschools, please contact your child’s counselor or you may email Ms. Donna Lanham at dlanham@wcpss.net.

FAQ
What type of photo should I upload? Feel free to upload any appropriate photo that shows your student engaging in academics, hobbies, sports etc.
How will photos be chosen for the yearbook? The yearbook advisor and her staff will be looking for photos that tell the best story. Not all photos will be chosen as the yearbook team will make the yearbook as equitable as possible.
What size photo should I upload? Photos taken directly with a phone camera will work fine or 3000 DPI. Photos that are taken from a social media account tend to be too small to look nice.
