Noetic Learning Math Contest
Some of Lindsey Elementary School 's top math students competed in the Noetic Learning Math Contest. This semiannual problem-solving contest consists of 20 creative math problems to be solved independently. This fall session challenged over 27,000 elementary and middle school students from 44 different states nationwide. Four West Geauga students from Lindsey Elementary made it onto Noetic’s National Honor Roll, meaning they scored in the TOP 10 PERCENT amongst all participants. The students were recently recognized at the Board of Education meeting by Mrs. Morgano, West Geauga Gifted Coordinator and Enrichment Specialist, and Mrs. Becerra, Lindsey Elementary Principal. Pictured are Colm Dugan (3rd grade), James Davis (5th grade), Cayden Zahler (5th grade).
Rising 6th Graders
Believe it or not, we are approaching the end of the school year, and getting ready for our 5th grade students to join us at WGMS! To begin this process, Mrs. Dorko and Mrs. Weisbarth will be visiting the 5th grade students at Lindsey Elementary on Tuesday, February 13th in the morning. In this visit, the 5th graders will learn about the courses they will take, how to select their music choice, learn about the big changes in middle school and get their questions answered.
Later in the spring, the 5th grade students will then have the opportunity to come visit WGMS and tour our building. This is taking place on May 17th in the morning; transportation will be provided.
Parents of incoming 6th graders will also have an informational parent night on May 9th at 6 PM at WGMS. Similar to the presentation given to the 5th graders, parents will learn about the courses students will take, changes between elementary and middle school and have an opportunity to ask questions.
