Progress Reports for First Trimester

Progress reports are now available for your middle school student in Aspen. If you are unsure about how to log in or how to view grades, please refer to this help sheet: Aspen How To

If you are unable to log in, first try to reset your password, if you are still unable to log in, please email:

aspensupportms@swampscott.k12.ma.us.

Viewing grades under “Academics” and “Term Performance” is not always an accurate account of a grade.

Instead, click on the Progress Report PDF on the main page to view grades and comments.

We highly suggest downloading the PDF version of the progress report to your computer in the event you may need to have a hard copy in the future. The PDF can be found on the main screen after you log in, under Published Reports.

Yankee Candles

Yankee Candle Fundraiser

/in /by

Dear Parents:

 

Swampscott Middle School will be having one online fundraiser – Yankee Candle.  The goal is to help lower the cost of field trips, as well as provide financial aid for students that need it.

 

For every purchase made on the Yankee Candle website the school will be given 40%.  We are hoping this will help you with your holiday shopping as there are wrapping paper, candles, fragrances and gifts for the holidays and we have been told the candles will be less than if you buy them in the store! We have included a catalog but there is much more than this available online. To ensure delivery by the holidays (Chanukah is December 2) please order by November 5th. Just log onto the website www.yankeecandlefundraising.com with our fundraiser number 990100355.  

 

Feel free to share the links with family and friends.

Other fundraisers that will not cost you anything include:

 

  1. Stop and Shop A+, all you have to do is link your Stop and Shop card to Swampscott Middle School and they will donate a portion of your purchases to our school. Just go to https://stopandshop.com/school-rewards/ and register your card to send points to SMS.
  2. Send in your receipts for purchases at any of the Crosby Markets to the office and they will give us credit towards equipment.

 

Please reach out to Ms. Ardman (8th grade science teacher) with any questions you may have.  We look forward to successful fundraisers, and your support.

Thank you.
