Middle school

For students in grades 6th through 8th.

Everything you need to know and do to ensure your child is back-to-school ready!

Welcome to a new school year!

We are excited your family will be a part of our middle school. We are always looking for volunteers to lead middle school small groups, attend class field trips, help in the lunch room etc.  Please reach out if you want to know more  about how to get involved! 

I do have a special request. You know your child so much better than I ever will. If you have a few minutes, send me an email with your child’s strengths, struggles…who they really are. I want to have significant interactions with your child this school year!

If a student knows of a vacation or day he/she will be absent, a pre-arranged absence form should be filled out. Your student can get the form on the bulletin board outside the MS office at the beginning of the day. Each of your student's teachers will initial the form and assign any homework scheduled for the day(s) of the absence(s).
