🏫 Reminders

📚 Library Etiquette (Message from Ms. Keating) To keep the library a quiet space for study, we ask all Middle Schoolers to please walk around the library rather than cutting through it.

• Exception: You may cut through only if it is raining outside. Otherwise, please go around the library.

🎲 MS Commons We love that you are using the board games! However, the Commons is a shared space.

• Clean Up: You must put away all game pieces/boxes and leave the tables completely clear after use.

👕 Lost & Found Alert There is a large collection of lost PE items hanging outside the MS/US PE change rooms.

• Check Now: Some items have names on them. Please check immediately!

• Deadline: Any items not collected by the Winter Week break will be donated to charity.

📝 Looking Ahead

• Wednesday, Feb 4: Mid-year Report Cards published on PowerSchool.

Recess Reminders ⚽🏀

• THANK YOU for returning the balls immediately when the whistles blow. Mr. Nugent is hungry and wants to go to lunch!

• Pull-up bars are off limits

• Bathrooms outside are off limits. Students should use the bathrooms in the MS.

• Students are now welcome to use the MS Commons (steps and open space only) during recess time to work, relax, or play ping pong, board games, or the piano. 

• Students are not allowed to be upstairs in the MS, including the bathrooms, or behind the steps. 

Taking Care of our MS 🧹

• Clean up after yourselves, especially during snack time, with crumbs and wrappers. If you see something on the floor, pick it up, even if it’s not yours.

• Push in chairs in our common spaces.
