Magnet Student Participation in Academic Competitions and Activities
The Fulmore Magnet Program encourages our students to reach beyond the classroom and the regular academic experience. Each year, magnet students are required to select two different academic competitions to participate in. Careful attention to the deadlines and criteria is critical for students. Parents are strongly encouraged to help ensure their children understand all of the rules and procedures for the competitions. In some cases, parents may be needed to work with their child, or with a teacher to co-sponsor a group of interested students for guidance meetings. Some students will prefer to work independently to meet deadlines. Selection will take place during school through social studies classes. Students will be asked to take the selection sheet home for discussion and return it by the deadline.
Student Name: ______________________________________ Grade: ______
Home Phone: _____________
My TWO choices of academic competitions and activities for this year are:
1. ______________________________________________________________
2. ______________________________________________________________
**I understand that I am responsible for following through on TWO of these each year and that participation will be documented. I will include a written reflection upon completion of each event. I understand that a sponsor will check in with me to answer questions I might have, but that I am responsible for contacting my sponsor with whatever questions, complications, or clarifications I need BEFORE the final deadlines. I am also responsible in submitting my own entries and I will provide a submission copy to the Magnet office for record keeping.
Signed: __________________________________________ Grade: _____
Date: _________
DEADLINE TO RETURN THIS CHOICE FORM:
Friday, November 4th
Return to your social studies teacher
