Dear Middle School Families, 

We've had a great week in middle school!

A Friendly Reminder: To stay on top of assignments, grades, and feedback, we encourage students and families to check PowerSchool at least once a week. It’s a great way to keep track of progress and make sure nothing slips through the cracks. Having students check PowerSchool once a week, or more frequently, builds responsibility and independence. The more your student takes ownership of their learning, the more confident and prepared they'll feel in class. Keeping an eye on their progress helps students stay organized, meet deadlines, and avoid surprises at the end of the quarter. 

September is Suicide Prevention Month is dedicated to recognizing the warning signs for suicide, encouraging open conversations about mental health, and connecting people to proven treatment and resources. We strive to ensure that our Pride Families have access to the tools, resources, and support they need to talk openly about suicide prevention, recognize warning signs, and seek help.  Please visit our school counselor site for this week's key messages, resources, facts/misconceptions, videos, and more. 

Lastly, please note that middle and high school students (6th-12th) will have the option to purchase from Tom's Coffee Truck on September 18th. Students must bring cash or a card to pay at the point of sale. There is NO PREPAY option for the coffee truck. The truck will be available during their lunch period. (See flyer below for a list of menu items.)

Thank you for your continued support!

Warmly, 

Christy Dempsey, MS Principal
