What have we been doing so far? This year is off to a great
start! Many students have shown interest in Community Service
Projects and are really trying to meet (and exceed) their required
hours by participating in after school activities, community
volunteering opportunities, etc. Talley will be offering some
community service opportunities as well. Please keep checking the
website and our new, weekly phone updates to learn more. This month
Talley officially began helping potential IB students shadow. If
your child (those in grade 6) are interested in becoming student
ambassadors and have not yet filled out an interest paper, please
tell them to come and see me as soon as possible.
Slide 4
The Website We are working very hard this year to update the
website with all appropriate information for current IB Students as
well as potential IB Students. Please check the website for
important information regarding meetings, trips, etc. The website
now has links to paperwork for those considering the transition to
Mt. Pleasant High School. Copies of all paperwork, including the
Community Service Verification Form can also be found as an
attachment. In addition to our IB website, many teachers have
websites used just for their classes. Please make sure to check
these sites when your child is absent to learn about missing
assignments.
Slide 5
Community Service Acceptable Community Service opportunities
include, but are not limited to: Helping a member of the community
Volunteering time at an organization Mentoring younger children
Neighborhood clean-ups Volunteering at a local soup kitchen Our
next Talley community service opportunity involves writing and
illustrating a childrens book to be donated to a local elementary
school. Your child can pick up a flyer with more information in the
guidance office.
Slide 6
IBMYP Transition to Mount Pleasant There are two primary forms
potential Mount Pleasant IB attendees must fill out during the
course of their 8 th grade year. The forms should be returned to
Talley (attn: Ms. Feder) who will forward the forms to Mount
Pleasant. These forms can be found on our website. The Mount
Pleasant Honor Code The Mount Pleasant Information Sheet For those
interested, shadowing at Mount Pleasant is an excellent way to gain
insight into the typical IB High School workday.

Slide 9
IBMYP Transition to Mount Pleasant Once these forms are filled
out and returned, your part is complete. Mount Pleasant requires
both the first and second mark period report cards in order to make
their official decision. Once report cards are in, I will bring the
paperwork and report cards to Mount. This is where the decisions
about acceptance will occur.
Slide 10
Trips, Events, Etc. Our 8 th Grade Students went on the annual
trip to Philadelphia before Winter Break. They were able to explore
the city and learn about the historical significance of
Philadelphia. A group of Mount Pleasant High School International
Baccalaureate students ventured to Talley earlier this year to
speak with our 8 th grade students about the high school IB
program. This was more of a student- centered question-and-answer
panel. Talleys Community Service month began in December. Students
were very, very generous and donated tons of food, paper goods,
etc. to the Ronald McDonald House. We were able to stuff an entire
bus with these collections and help many people in need. This
spring, Talley will be presenting the drama performance Peter Pan
Jr. We are currently in the middle of our basketball and
cheerleading seasons.
Slide 11
Tutoring Program and Practice Skills Talley Middle School
offers free tutoring to students on various days of the week.
Currently, students involved in the tutoring program work with
Compass Learning. Students have access to this website from any
home, library, etc. computer as well. Students can use this website
as a resource when studying for our upcoming DCAS test. Teachers
also suggest certain online webpages for students during the
various stages of studying. Quizlet.com Teachertube.com
