Celebrating 57 years of excellence in academics and the arts, Colonial Middle School offers students a world-class education in a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility. Colonial offers Optional Programs in both Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA) and Enriched Academics, helping students to cultivate their talents in the realms of creativity, the visual and performing arts, and academics. Students enrolled in the school’s CAPA Program gain exposure to cultural appreciation, broaden their creative abilities, develop performance skills, and combine academic excellence with superior instruction in the arts. Colonial’s CAPA students have a proven success record in local, regional, and international performance festivals, workshops, and competitions. Colonial students have the opportunity to travel all over the world to participate in these events, and in recent years, they have traveled to China, Italy, Germany, Austria, England, France, and Canada, as well as throughout the United States, including Hawaii. Students in Colonial’s Enriched Academics Program engage in challenging coursework in the areas of Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Creative Learning in a Unique Environment (CLUE)* is also available for eligible students. Students may enroll in advanced classes in core subject areas, in addition to exploratory courses in Art, Band, Choir, General Music, Computer, Facing History and Ourselves, Spanish, Teen Living, Health, and Physical Education. Students wishing to get a head start on their high school education may enroll in Algebra I✦ and Spanish I✦ for high school credit. Physical Science is also taught to eighth grade students who qualify. Field trips and extracurricular activities help to create a well-rounded middle school experience for all Colonial Middle School students. Colonial has earned a well-deserved reputation for success in nurturing each student’s unique talents. Colonial’s Drama Program has produced many highly successful performers, including Deidra Shores, who was previously selected from among 40,000 applicants to become the winner of The Today Show’s national Kid Reporter Contest. In addition to being nurtured in academics and the arts, Colonial students are encouraged to be well rounded by developing positive character traits, becoming responsible citizens, and developing their athletic skills. * Students must meet eligibility requirements to participate. ✦ These courses have prerequisites. Participation is dependent on grades from the previous school year and standardized achievement test results.

**UPDATE**
SCS will begin the school year fully virtual on August 31st.
"We are faced with conflicting priorities as leaders entrusted with the safety of 100,000 children and 15,000 employees because lives and futures are at stake. As of today, there are more than 18,000 cases of COVID-19 in Shelby County - a 9.3% positivity rate and growing, with more than 250 deaths. I am told our hospital beds are at 90% capacity. Science tells us that by September, our community will reach the same trajectory as New York City, and this figure does not account for the students returning to school.
Therefore, we will begin our school year FULLY VIRTUAL on August 31. Teachers will have options to teach remotely or in classrooms, but all students will learn virtually at home until further notice."

********************************
LA ESCUELA COMIENZARÁ COMPLETAMENTE VIRTUAL EL 31 DE AGOSTO
"Hasta hoy, hay más de 20,000 casos de COVID-19 en el Condado de Shelby - una tasa positiva creciente del 9.3%, con más de 250 muertes. Me dicen que nuestras camas de hospital tienen una capacidad del 90%. La ciencia nos dice que para septiembre, la comunidad experimentará el mismo número de casos que la ciudad de Nueva York, y esta cifra no tiene en cuenta los estudiantes que regresan a la escuela.
Por eso, el 31 de agosto, las escuelas abrirán VIRTUALMENTE en el Condado de Shelby, los maestros tendrán opciones para enseñar a distancia o en los salones de clases, PERO TODOS LOS ESTUDIANTES ESTARÁN EN CASA PARA SU DÍA ESCOLAR HASTA NUEVO AVISO."

ATHLETICS UPDATE
Middle and high schools that meet the District's readiness requirements are cleared to begin limited team conditioning for all sports Monday, July 20. Coaches at each school will be communicating directly with student athletes and families. Of course, all conditioning activities will prioritize the health and safety of our student athletes and coaches. Coaches and athletic staff have participated in required training based on CDC recommendations and guidelines from state and national health officials. Only outdoor workouts are allowed at this time, with a maximum of 50 total people in a single conditioning session. Student athletes will stay in small groups - or "pods" - of 10 people max at all times. Additional protocols include daily health screenings, social distancing guidelines and required masks for player/coach interactions, among others. Again, coaches will be communicating with student athletes and families about the start of team conditioning at each school.

He put a lot of time and effort into this project all by himself and we are excited with his ambition to be a music producer. Just imagine what he could do with the guidance of his teacher!
