May is Mental Health Awareness Month! Taking care of our mental health is important – for kids and adults! Here’s some information about mental health and how you can support your child’s mental well-being. 

Is your student interested in joining the MS Cross Country team? If so, our coaches will offer optional practices every Monday and Wednesday morning from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. at the middle school starting on June 17th!

All students will turn in their school-issued Chromebook and charger after their final exam on May 21st (8th grade only) and May 22nd (6th & 7th grades). Each Chromebook has a blue and silver inventory tag with an asset number.

On Tuesday, May 21st, our 8th-grade class will celebrate their last year of middle school at our 8th Grade Continuation Ceremony, followed by a dinner and dance. It has been a tradition for 6th & 7th-grade families to help with this event each year so 8th-grade families can attend the Continuation Ceremony.

Middle school students will complete their iReady testing and final exams in May. Please note that 6th & 7th graders will be released at 11:04 a.m. on May 22nd, and 8th graders will not have school on that day. All lockers will be cleaned out on Tuesday, May 21st.

We are looking forward to the Firebird Fest on May 21st! All middle school students will enjoy lunch, games, inflatable slides, obstacle courses, a dunk tank, yearbook signing, and other events! 

During Firebird Fest, we serve lunch to all middle and high school teachers and staff! We will purchase sandwiches for everyone, but we are asking for donations for sides and drinks. If you are able to donate these items, please sign up here!

We are looking forward to celebrating our 8th-grade students on Tuesday, May 21st! Our 8th Grade Continuation Ceremony will begin at 5:30 p.m. Students should arrive at 4:45 p.m., and the doors will open to the public at 5:00 p.m.

If you have not yet submitted your photos, please submit them ASAP! In preparation for 8th Grade Continuation on May 21st, we need pictures of 8th-grade students for their continuation video! One of the best elements of the 8th Grade Continuation Ceremony is the slideshow displaying pictures of our 8th graders at various stages of their childhood.

Are you interested in volunteering at our middle school? We have made it easier than ever for families to sign up to volunteer! Our school now has a master Sign Up Genius Form where we will post a variety of volunteer opportunities that are available each week.
