Social Studies -- Mr. McCoy
Welcome to History! This course is designed to help students
understand how events or actions of the past help influence and
shape the current and future cultures. This course involves the
study of major historical events, cultural trends and advancement of thought and civilization of both Kansas and the United
States. We will compare and contrast local, state of Kansas and
National events as they occur throughout the 19 th Century. Students will read, write and discuss a variety of topics as we analyze primary and secondary sources.
Students will need a variety of resources, everyday, as they
attend class. Those resources include: pen and pencil, highlighter, paper, 1" 3-ring binder (for social studies only), and a positive attitude.
I look forward to a great year as we help students develop higher level thinking and prepare them for high school and beyond. I
will be the team leader for the Silver 8 team this year. If you
have questions regarding team policies and/or would like to set
up a meeting with teachers. I can be reached at
[email protected].
Math -- Mrs. Miller
Hello! I am Mrs. Miller and I am the math teacher on the Silver 8
team at Anthony Middle School. I graduated from Kansas State
University and have taught math for the past 18 years between
the Geary County and Manhattan School Districts. I love working with middle school students! In my spare time I enjoy watching and coaching volleyball, running and hanging out with my
family and friends.
Math 8 students:. We will solve multi-step equations and inequalities, work with numbers that are “radical”, graph linear
equations, learn the four operations on rational numbers and
study congruence and similarity. We will also work with a TI-83
Plus graphing calculator to analyze and solve equations. By the
end of the year students will be ready to take Algebra I at the
East Campus.
Algebra I students: Welcome to the A,B,C’s of mathematics.
We will learn to solve linear, quadratic, absolute value, rational
and radical equations. The TI-83 graphing calculators will be
used throughout the year to allow us to compare and contrast
the different equations and analyze the outcomes. Students will
develop a greater understanding and appreciation of all the
math they have ever learned.
Geometry students: Geometry is the branch of mathematics
concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of
figures and the properties of space. We will cover properties of
triangles, quadrilaterals, circles and polyhedrons with students
applying their knowledge of Algebra. Additional topics include,
transformations, congruence, similarity of polygons, trigonome-
Science -- Mr. Dick
Eighth grade science curriculum is Physical Science which is the
study of matter and energy, what they are and how they interact
and change. The fall semester covers chemistry with topics like
atoms, molecules, reactions, phases, temperature, pressure, etc.
The spring semester covers physics with topics like electricity,
sound waves, light waves, nuclear energy and radiation, motion,
machines, etc. The nature of science and scientific thinking are
major themes that run throughout the class. Our goal is to be
observant and curious and learn a lot about the amazing universe
we live in.
Students will need a 3-ring binder (1 inch is good), paper, pencils/
pens, highlighters and a calculator (does not need to be a
“scientific calculator”) If you have any questions or comments , I
can be reached at [email protected].
Language Arts -- Mrs. Neitzel
Welcome back students of AMS! I am thrilled to begin this new
year with you and want to welcome you to Silver 8 Language Arts.
My name is Mrs. Beth Neitzel and this year will mark my 15 th year
teaching middle school students. I am currently a KSU student as
well as your teacher as I work toward licensure to become a
building administrator. I also serve at the building and district level
on the Professional Development team.
We will have a very busy 8th grade year as there is so much to
cover before you move on to high school. 8 th grade ELA focuses
on five essential questions as we explore a variety of texts and
write for different purposes. The five questions that will guide our
lessons are:
~ How does one impact change?
~How do our experience help define who we are and who we will
become?
~How can choices impact an outcome?
~How does a deeper understanding of ourselves and others influence choices?
~How does one use knowledge/power to impact those around
them?
In an effort to explore these essential questions, we will read several novels as well as current event news articles and you can
expect to see an increase in writing as I help prepare you for the
rigors of high school. Some of the novels we plan to cover could
include; The Pearl by Steinbeck, The Giver by Lowry, A Christmas
Carol by Dickens, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by Boyne, and
a novel focused on the Civil War.
Please note that for both the regular and advanced language arts
classes, students will need the following supplies: a three-ring
binder (1" will be fine), five divider tabs for the binder, loose leaf
notebook paper, highlighters of different colors, pencils or pens. In
addition, students should bring to class everyday something to
read for enjoyment. You may find daily agenda updates and links
to classroom materials on my Edmodo page. Additionally, I have
a Twitter account where I will tweet updates and notices. Follow
me at @mrs_neitzel where I will use #Silver8ELA for anything
related to class.
I welcome any questions and am open to meeting with any of you
throughout the year. The best way to reach me is through email at
[email protected]. Welcome to the team!

Purple Seven
Welcome to AMS Mrs. Barten!
Mrs. Burton, Mr. Pickler and Mrs. Green
We would like to welcome you and your student to Anthony Middle School. We expect this year to be an exciting one filled with
growth, learning and change for all of us. We have been working
diligently to prepare for the school year and we look forward to
its arrival.
Your student will be involved with the Purple 7 interdisciplinary
team. This team is made up of four core teachers from the basic
subject areas of math, science, social studies and language
arts.
Teaming means coordinated planning. One of the primary philosophies supporting teaming is that teachers have the opportunity to coordinate their curriculum, basic learning skills and
effective teaching techniques.
During our common planning time the team will meet to deal
with curricular issues, scheduling difficulties, but most importantly, to deal with students and their individual needs. One of the
most positive aspects of the team is when students understand
that their teachers know and care about them as a person and
are aware of an individual’s progress in all areas. We, as teachers, enjoy being on a team where we can work together, plan
together and see results together.
We also consider you an important member of our team, and we
look forward to working with you to help your child be as successful as possible this year.
During team plan time, we will be available for conferences or
phone calls. The school phone number is 785-587-2890. Please
feel free to call us! We look forward to working with both you
and your child.
The middle school is very different from the elementary school.
Here students must learn to be more organized and take responsibility for themselves and for their own learning. Even
though your child will have many different teachers throughout
the day, the core teachers will provide an environment that,
although different, will be the same with respect to classroom
expectations and guidelines. The following are a few guidelines
of which you should be aware of.

It will be the student’s responsibility to be in his/her seat when
the bell rings and to have the appropriate materials needed
for class. At this age, 7th graders should not need to return to
their lockers for forgotten books or paper. Additionally, students are expected to complete and turn in assignments on
time. Every effort is made by us to help guide that process,
but ultimately the student must step up to make that occur.

In order to help students become organized, we expect them
to use the daily planner provided by the school. Please help
us help your child take responsibility for his/her own learning.

Please look at the Supply List on page 3 for the rest of supplies your student will need. These items are used frequently.

Current grade reports will be distributed at parent/teacher
conferences; however, your child will be notified of his/her
grade frequently. Please ask your child about the grade
he/she earned, or access the Parent Portal online to check
grades frequently.

The following grade scale will be used:
90-100 A
70-79 C
0-59 F
80-89 B
60-69 D
Again, we look forward to a wonderful year. Thank you in advance for your help and support.

rocks, plate tectonics, atmosphere and weather, along with the
study of our solar system and space. Life Science includes
many different areas too. We study the structure and function of
cells, genetics, changes over time, microbiology, and finally,
animals and ecology. We also incorporate other areas of science such as chemistry and physics, along with learning about
how to set up and conduct a scientific investigation. We do lots
of hands on activities and projects, but there is also reading,
note taking and discussion involved. I am looking forward to
working with you and helping you to learn more about science
this year!
Social Studies -- Mr. Snyder
Hello—I’m Luke Snyder. I’m a graduate of Kansas State University and will begin my 2nd year teaching world geography and 11th

SPED -- Ms. Whetstone
If you are the parent or guardian of a student with special needs, please let the school know as soon as possible. It is very important
that we have all special education records in order to make the best placement decisions for your student. If you do not have access
to these records, please let one of the office professionals know and we will assist you in getting those records as quickly as possible.
It is our goal that all students have a strong start to their school year. With proper planning and information, we can ensure that this
will happen. We have a tremendously talented and inclusive special education staff that is here to help your student have the best
middle school experience possible. Any questions you should have about our program offerings can be directed toward Mrs. Ingram,
our school counselor, and she will direct them to the correct person in the special education department.
Please email Ms. Whetstone at [email protected]. We look forward to working with you and your student in the future.

Cooking for Others (One Quarter): Experimenting and problem solving with foods and recipes, entertaining, ethnic and foreign foods, nutrition and wellness, preparing food for special diets are topics covered in this class. Careers in food related fields are
investigated.
Decorating My Living Space (One Quarter): How can you make your room a special place? The basics of housing interior
design are examined - the elements and principles of design, color, window treatment, furniture style, materials and arrangement, accessories and cost analysis of a living space. Designing a bedroom in a box is a fun project for students. Drawing to scale and designing floor plans is also included. Some materials for the bedroom in a box may need to be purchased or brought from home.
Sewing for Fun (One Quarter): Sewing is fun and challenging. Completing a project that you’ve made yourself is very rewarding. Learn to use the machine by creating a pillow, then move on to independent projects such as tote bags, fun pants, boxers or pajamas. Learn about fibers and fabrics, laundry, sewing on buttons and mending. You may enroll in this class a second time and make
different projects. Students are responsible for purchasing their own sewing material and notions. A list of supplies will be sent home
the first week of class. Cost depends on what material your student picks.
Caring for Children (One Quarter): Learn how to care for newborns to elementary age children. “ Baby Think It Over” dolls are
an optional home experience that can give students the opportunity to “parent” a baby. Characteristics of children at different stages of
growth & development are studied. Babysitting, storytelling, play materials, nutrition, discipline & handling emergencies are included.
Exploring Technology -- Mr. Eckelberry
Exploring Technology (sometimes referred to as Explorations in Technology) is an elective class that is available to all 7 th and 8th
grade students at Anthony Middle School.
This class is all about students exploring technology in a “hands-on” manner. This is accomplished through 17 modules from which
students are given the opportunity to rank the two they would most like to experience. A module is simply a workstation set up with
everything that one or two students need to explore an area of technology. Exploring Technology is truly a “learn-by-doing” class!
Some of the modules offered are Computer Graphics and Animation, Meteorology, Rocketry and Space,
Electricity and Electronics, Webmaster, Research & Design, and many more. The class is one quarter (9weeks) long and students can sign up for the class for as many as six quarters during their time at middle
school.
For more information, go to the AMS website and click around until you find the teacher websites, you will
then find my website link (or go directly to http://www.usd383.org/teacherlink/jeffe.aspx.)
Art -- Ms. Regier
Hello! My Name is Jennifer Regier and I am the art teacher at AMS. This will be my 5th year here and I will offer Drawing, Ceramics,
Painting and Crafts.
In Drawing Classes, we work with colored pencils, markers, soft pastels, oil pastels and graphite. The subject matter varies from ideas
such a perspective, abstract, still life, nature, collage and reference materials. We focus on different techniques with each of the materials used. Elements and principles of design are emphasized. In Ceramics Class, we work on the hand-building techniques of slab,
pinch pot and coil building. Projects are made, dried, fired in the kiln, glazed and then fired again. Assignments include pinch pots,
plaques, coil pots, personal boxes and vessels with a handle. We will look to art history for inspiration and guidance. There are many
possibilities in ceramics class. In Painting Class, we will concentrate on acrylic, watercolor, and resist techniques. We spend time
studying the color wheel and how to create colors. In Crafts we do a variety or processes—collage, crayon meltings, fiber art, and

Health -- Mrs. Fingalsen
Hi, I am Erin Fingalsen and I teach 7th and 8th grade Health. This is my 27th year teaching in the Manhattan-Ogden
schools; all but two of those years have been at the middle school level. My husband and I are originally natives of
Iowa, but quickly found Manhattan to be a wonderful place to live and raise a family. I hope if you are new to the
community you too will find this a great place to call home. When I am not teaching I enjoy golfing, walking, running,
lifting weights, spending time with friends and spending time with my family.
Both Health classes focus on helping students make healthy lifestyle choices. The 7 th grade curriculum has a strong
emphasis on drug education, while in 8th grade the students will be learning about Human Sexuality issues and responsibly taking care of themselves.
In both classes we also spend time understanding the importance of overall fitness and nutrition and how to integrate it into our daily
lives. I feel I am the luckiest teacher in the building because I get the opportunity to teach every student in the building both years. It is
awesome to get to know them, develop a rapport with them and watch them grow into wonderful, amazing young adults.
I look forward to meeting you all soon and if you have any questions or concerns about the health classes, please don’t hesitate to call
or email me, [email protected].
Reading -- Mrs. Head
Hi! I’m Mrs. Head and I teach Reading classes at Anthony Middle School. Everything students do in class is geared for their individual
needs. All students start the class by taking a computerized reading test (the STAR test) to determine their current reading levels.
Their level of work in READ 180 on the computer is set accordingly, as well as their written assignments and the level of books they
can choose for individual reading.
Reading class is both an elective and required class, depending on reading ability. Students who read below grade level are required
to take the class and stay in it until they reach the reading level for their grade. Students who choose to take the class and already
read at grade level will work to improve their abilities for as many quarters as they choose. Many students make multiple-year gains,
with the highest improvement being ten grade levels in two years of class. Many students make three to five years’ gain. All reading
levels are checked at the end of each quarter and students are moved to progressively more difficult work as they improve.
Students work in small groups, with activities changing once every class period. Students have four basic activities - working on the computer, reading silently, working with me on written assignments or listening as a book is read
aloud. Every other day their activities will change, so in two days they will have
done all four activities. They will need to have a book in class every day. Daily
reading at home is highly recommended.
The READ 180 program works on reading words accurately, instant recognition of words, spelling skills, reading fluency, and comprehension. Most students enjoy working on this program. READ 180 and the other classroom activities help students make great gains in their reading skills.
Physical Education -- Mr. Hess & Mrs. Ten Eyck
Hello! My name is Mrs. Ten Eyck and I am the girls' physical education teacher. I graduated from Emporia State University in 2008
and this will be my 3rd year teaching girls’ P.E. at Anthony. During the course of the year you will be able to take part in a variety of
team games, fitness activities and outdoor sports.
Mr. Hess has taught for USD 383 for 30 years. He is the boys’ physical education teacher here at AMS and the High School Baseball
Coach.
All students will be expected to wear the required P.E. gray T-shirt, (Can be purchased at Central Enrollment on July 31st or at the
AMS office.) shorts or sweats, tied shoes and socks. Please put student’s name on or in everything so that lost clothing may be returned to the student. Students should be prepared to go outside in cool weather by having a sweatshirt or jacket in their P.E. locker.
All physical education uniforms are to be taken home to be washed every Friday and brought back clean on Monday. Students must
bring a note to their teacher if, for any reason, they cannot participate in Physical Education. If the student cannot participate for more
than three days, a doctor’s note is required.
Sportsmanship is a high priority in our classroom. It is included in the student’s academic grade. We have students at many different
levels of skill and knowledge of activities. We expect all students to be inclusive with other students and show respect for each other.
Physical Education is graded according to a ten point daily grading scale. This includes dressing out, participation, effort, sportsmanship, and skill development. School and classroom rules need to be followed. Physical Education is a no gum class due to choking.
We expect all students to work to the best of their ability and be highly involved in the activities and show improvement of skill level.

Vocal Music -- Mrs. Nunnenkamp-Engelman
Hello All, My name is Hannah Nunnenkamp-Engelman, and I am very excited to be a part of the Anthony Middle School Family. If you
are new to the Middle school, here is just a little bit about me. I am a 2011 graduate of KSU and this will be my second year in the
Manhattan-Ogden district. I currently serve the Kansas Music Educators Association Board as the Tri-M Music Honor Society Chair. In
my “Spare Time” I thoroughly enjoy sewing, crocheting, and playing clarinet and piano. Together my husband and I enjoy serving in
our Church, watching our favorite movies and TV shows, keeping up with all things Bill Snyder and the KSU Wildcats, and hanging out
with our family and friends.
This upcoming year will be a very exciting year for the Anthony Middle School choir program. We will be embarking on many fun and
exciting musical opportunities! There will be four concerts throughout the year, one each quarter, as well as an
opportunity for your student to join after school choir, opportunity to audition for District and State Choir, as well
as our annual vocal music “Choir Tour”.
I am extremely excited to meet and work with the students and families at USD 383. Working with, and learning
from my choir students has given me the opportunity to see music touch students lives in a way that is truly beyond words. We have many choir classes that will work on singing, music content, and working towards performances throughout the year. I am looking forward to a wonderful experience at AMS and EMS and wish you all
a wonderful start to you 2015-2016 academic year!
I will be at AMS for periods 1-3 at AMS.
Orchestra -- Mr. Toll
Middle School Orchestra: This is for 7th grade students who are progressing from two years of orchestra at the elementary school
level. It is also a great place for beginners who may not have had the opportunity to play in 5 th and 6th grade, or are switching to a different instrument. We will spend the 1 st quarter learning, reviewing, and solidifying excellent playing position, technique, note and
rhythm reading, and learning the important aspects of large ensemble playing. The remaining quarters will be spent learning improved
musicianship through the preparation of concert performance literature.
Advanced Orchestra: This class is for 8th graders who completed 7th grade orchestra. Advanced orchestra will develop mature
techniques, including shifting, vibrato and varied bow articulations. They will also prepare music at an advanced level for concert performances and festival.
Band -- Mr. Freeby
Students in both the Advanced and Beginning classes will receive training in music theory as well as many performance outlets. We have a Pep Band from August through October, we'll perform seasonal carols at the Manhattan
Town Center Mall, and we'll have three concerts throughout the school year. Additionally, we have an annual "Grade
School Tour" that takes place every May and we record a CD of our "End-of-the-Year" Concert. Every other year the
band travels to a Music Festival to receive ratings on our Musical performance.
There is a great deal of playing and performing and having fun associated with being in the band at AMS. When considering enrolling for band - if you've played a band instrument for at least one year prior to coming to AMS, you should
enroll in the Advanced Band Class. If you have struggled a bit on your instrument and would feel more comfortable in
the Beginning Class, it's OK to enroll as a beginner. Students in the Beginning class meet at the same time as the 6 th hour advanced
class. Because they meet at the same time, when a student reaches a certain level of playing ability, that student just moves one
room over and becomes part of the Advanced Class with no need to change their schedule.
I am a travelling teacher so the best way to contact him is by e-mail: [email protected]. I will be at Anthony during 6th and 7th hours
(12:39 - 2:11 P.M.).
KSU Partnership -- Mrs. Getz
Anthony Middle School is a Professional Development School (PDS). A PDS is a collaborative relationship between a local school and a teacher education program that is focused on the simultaneous improvement of both
organizations. The ultimate goal of a Professional Development School is to help K-12 students achieve high academic standards while providing enhanced preparation of both future and practicing teachers. Through the involvement of our teachers and administrators with KSU faculty and the access to many resources available
through the partnership, the quality of preparation of undergraduates in the teaching education program is greatly
enhanced. Anthony students and teachers benefit as well. Through the placement of undergraduate students in
AMS classrooms, additional assistance can be provided to students through one-on-one tutoring, working with
small groups and general classroom assistance. Through the partnership with KSU, USD 383 and Anthony Middle
School, we are all working together to educate and encourage continuous learning for students and teachers.

Medication Policy
1. Prescription medication requires both professional (physician, dentist, orthodontist, nurse practitioner or
physician assistant) and parental consent before it can be given at school. Consent forms will be available at
enrollment and are also on the school district’s website.
2. Over-the-counter medication can be given with written parental consent only. These consent forms can
also be found on the district website. You may also give consent for Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen and cough
drops to be given as needed on the health information sheet that you will be completing at enrollment.
Prescription and over-the-counter medication must be in the original, appropriately labeled container. The school will have a
stock bottle of Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen, and a limited supply of cough drops, so it is not necessary for you to provide these
medications for your student.
All medication will be stored in the nurse’s office with the exception of inhalers and EpiPens which can be carried with the student (after the consent form has been left in the nurse’s office and the student has demonstrated for the nurse proper administration of medication).
New medication consent forms must be filled out each school year.
Immunization Information

School nurses will be available at Central Enrollment to review your child’s immunization records to see if additional vaccines are
needed. You can also view and print off your child’s immunization record in the Parent Portal. This information is helpful to have with
you when going in for physicals.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email or call!

Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) is a nondenominational, student-led group that shares devotions and prays

it is right for you. More information will be in the daily announcements to let students know when meetings will
start.
