Happy New Year, Crusaders! We hope that you enjoyed the winter break and found time to relax and create new memories with your family and friends. 

A few things to note for this upcoming month. The MS Building Leadership Committee will meet remotely on Thursday, January 11, 2024 at 3:30 p.m. This is a committee composed of MS staff members and parents that discuss district and building level goals for the school year. Please contact the main office if you would like to join this committee. 

There is no school on Monday, January 15, 2024 in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. 

The second quarter ends on Friday, January 26, 2024. This is considered the end of the first semester. Please check your child’s schedule as quarterly and semester classes will change starting Monday, January 29. 

As we head into the winter months, please be aware that the school district has built six days into the academic school year calendar in case of inclement weather or other emergencies that would cause schools to close. In the event that we exhaust these allotted “snow” days, the district is prepared to pivot to remote instruction. Families will be notified of any changes to the district’s regular schedule including early dismissals via email, text and/or phone call, based on preferences selected on the Parent/Student Portal. 

Lastly, please check out the flyer below that offers a free virtual presentation for parents on internet safety. Consider taking advantage of this great opportunity! 

As always, thank you for your support and I wish you a healthy and happy 2024!

Best wishes, 

Christopher Berger
