End of the Year Summative Assessments in SS 6/7/8  on 6/15/26 &  Science 6 & 7 and World Language 8 on 6/16/26

It is important that we have cumulative information on everything we have learned in our year long courses in World Language, Math, English, Social Studies and Science. In ELA, Math, & Science 8 we utilize NYS Testing, and our grade level assignments, to gauge our students' progress. At the end of the year, we assess our students placement in World Language, Social Studies and Science 6/7 as their summative measure during the school day.  These assessments are aligned with NY state standards and give us a world of information and data about our students’ learning. Any student who does not take World Language will be in a separate location; please bring something to read during this time.

The Mid-Hudson School Study Council created an award designed to recognize teachers who have demonstrated excellence in achieving the educational mission at their BOCES, district or campus level. Mid-Hudson School Study Council has elected to honor Jen Feicht with the Teaching Excellence Award, a tribute to outstanding service in the field of educational instruction.

The Brain & Body Coalition, a local mental health agency, came to MMS on  May 12th. They spoke with students about positive ways to manage emotions and then creating coping skills toolkits together.  A big thank you to The Brain and Body Coalition and their presenter Ms. Lee-Pitcher for her partnership and the incredible tool kits!

This month, we welcomed County Executive Sue Serino for a special celebration, where she recognized several of our students as “Serino Superstars” for their efforts in demonstrating inclusion to their fellow students, and spoke about the importance of kindness. Serino Superstars is an anti-bullying initiative that highlights local middle school students who exemplify kindness, leadership, and the courage to do what’s right, even when it isn’t easy. Whether speaking up against bullying, supporting their peers, or helping to create a classroom environment where every student feels welcomed and respected, these students lead by example.

Students were selected as Serino Superstars by our faculty, who see firsthand the positive impact they make each day. We are incredibly proud of our students and grateful to County Executive Serino for the opportunity to recognize their contributions to our school community. 

Our 2026 Serino Superstars:

7th grade visited the Hudson River Maritime Museum. Students participated in a guided, inquiry based museum experience with a Museum educator. They explored the American Revolution exhibit, “Tides of War.” They took a ride on a solar powered vessel Solaris and explored the Rondout Creek. They also did a walking tour along the Rondout Creek.

6th Grade explored ancient civilizations through art at the Loeb museum at Vassar College. At the museum they viewed the antiquities gallery, Bunmei Kaika, a printmaking art activity, and the adventures of Ulysses. The students discussed the themes and had a picnic together. 

Let’s get outside and play! June is Great Outdoors Month, a time to enjoy nature, get moving, and have fun in the sunshine. Spending time outside helps our bodies and brains stay healthy and happy.

Here are a few fun ideas to try with your family:

• Go on a 🌿 Nature Walk and look for birds, bugs, or cool rocks

• Have a 🧺 Picnic  in your backyard or at the park

• Draw with 🎨 Chalk on the sidewalk

• Play a game🏃‍♂️ like Tag, Hopscotch, or Hide-and-Seek

• Look at the Clouds ☁️  and make up stories about the shapes you see

Whatever you do, take time to enjoy the fresh air and have some screen-free fun!
