Super Saturday Study Group

Super Saturday Study Group will start on September 8th for all grades here at the Middle School. Students need to talk to one of their teachers about getting on the list so we know who is planning on coming. Saturday school is from 9:00 am - 11:00 am each Saturday.

This is a time to work on homework, make up a test, read in a quiet place, or get individual help with school work. It is not a place for punishment, and is not assigned as an alternative to detentions. We want students to feel welcome to come to school to get what they need for academic success.

News From The First Two Days!

It was so delightful to see all of the students back at school - they sure have grown!

We had a little problem with the computer at lunch time on both days. The students do have time to eat lunch - if they were toward the end of the line, I told them to take their time and eat - I would make sure the teachers knew what had happened.

Lunch would go faster if the students would memorize their lunch number, and once they get their food, not visit with friends so much that they feel rushed to eat faster.

All the bugs will work out -- I want to thank the students for their patience and understanding. Computers are great - if they work when you need them to! Our kids are awesome!

Football Practice

If you are in 7th or 8th grade, and would like to participate in football, your first practice is the first day of school (Aug. 21st) from 3:30 - 5:00 at the baseball diamond. Be sure all insurance and physical forms are turned in.

Volleyball Practice

If you are in 7th or 8th grade and interested in volleyball...your first practice is the first day of school (Aug. 21st) from 3:30 - 5:00 in the MS gym. Be sure to have physical and insurance forms turned in at the office.

Cross Country Practice

If you are interested in cross country (which is distance running - not to be confused with track later in the spring) the first meeting is after school on the first day (Aug. 21st) in room 211, which is Mr. Adams' room.

7 & 8 Band Selling Magazine Subscriptions

The 7th and 8th grade band students will be selling magazine subscriptions from August 14 through August 24, 2007. The money earned from these sales will help pay for band trips, entry fees for competitions, and band equipment. If you would like to purchase a subscription or renewal of magazines and a band student does not contact you before August 23rd, please call the middle school and we can find a student to help you! If you would like to help the band with their needs, but you do not wish to purchase a magazine, we will take donations that go directly to the band program.
