Welcome to the Green Team!

CONGRATULATIONS GREEN TEAM!

Hi Everyone! Here are a series of resources for your summer! Please do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions.

Chromebook Drop-off & Locker Pick-up - All 8th graders should plan to return their Chromebooks and chargers on Wednesday, June 17th. This is a time to also pick up materials left in lockers. Please click here for more detailed information about the drop-off/pick-up times.

8th Grade Awards Show - If you missed the Awards Show, click here to check it out!

Digital Time Capsule - As part of our final week of school, students put together their favorite moments from this school year. Check out the digital time capsule, brought to you by Flipgrid! (NOTE: You must have a school Google account to access this.)

Yearbook Update - Due to the pandemic, yearbook distribution has been delayed. Herff Jones (Our Yearbook Supplier) will be mailing individual yearbooks to 8th grade homes. If you have a child in sixth or seventh grade, they will receive their yearbook at the start of the 20-21 school year. If you have any yearbook related questions please email the MMS yearbook Advisors, Timara Bruton at tbruton@darienps.org and Brenda McGee at bmcgee@darienps.org.

Summer Reading - Each rising 9th grader does have required summer reading. Please click here to review the information. Some recommendations that I made to students during class today are as follows:

  • Get your own copy of whichever book you read. This allows you to annotate it and come to class in September prepared to write about the book.
  • While I encourage students to read all summer long, I recommend starting your required summer reading at the beginning of August. This keeps the novel relatively fresh in the student’s mind when you return to school. Starting your required summer reading now is too early.

With that, thank you for a tremendous year! The last several weeks have been challenging, but you all rose to the occasion and did a really nice job. We, the Green team teachers, will miss you, and we hope you have a tremendous summer!

All the Best,

Mr. Sorensen,

Green Team Leader
