Greetings, Middle School Families,

We've Got Spirit, Yes We Do! We've Got Spirit, How About You?

The energy in Middle School has been electrifying. As we kicked off our week with Parent Night, it was a joy to see our parents navigate their child's schedule and learn about "All Things Middle School." During this process, we all learned how to be patient, flexible, and, most importantly, resilient.

The First Day of School was also nothing short of amazing. Our students were prepared for this new, fascinating adventure. This week, students met with their grade-level Deans, where they learned about their Deans' roles and expectations. Our Deans will support students as needed and help create an environment where learning flourishes. During "Owl Council," we discussed the importance of positive deposits, filling buckets, and being organized. 

Our commitment is to maintain this dialogue throughout the year, fostering a challenging and nurturing environment where our students feel a strong sense of inclusion and belonging. This sense of community is crucial for their growth and development.

Finally, please come out and support our Middle School sports teams. This is an opportunity for students to cheer on their classmates and create lifelong memories. Athletic events are posted in the Athletic Calendar tab on the parent portal

Morning/Afternoon Carpool

Please note that morning drop-off is at the flagpoles for everyone. Pick-up for fifth and sixth graders will be at the MAC Porch each afternoon. Their coaches will designate pick-up for 7th and 8th grade students participating in athletics. 

Enrichment Programs

We are excited to announce that registration for our enrichment programs will open on Friday, August 30th. These programs will begin during the second week of September and offer a variety of engaging and educational after-school activities for students. Be sure to mark your calendars and secure a spot for your child as soon as registration becomes available!
