MMS families,
As you may have heard from your student or read in the updates from past weeks, our fall fundraiser is well underway! As of this afternoon, we were just over halfway to our goal of $30,000 in sales.
The money raised from this fundraiser supports ASB activities such as field day, sports, clubs, assemblies (today’s pictured above), dances, and other culture-building events. Meeting or exceeding our sales goals allow us to meet all of our financial needs with one fundraiser, rather than needing to run a secondary, supplemental fundraiser later in the year. We are hopeful that families will continue to share and encourage others to donate in support of our school. As you know we are on a mission to ensure all students learn at high levels, and having funding to put on fun events for our students is one way we build belonging and connect students to school so they are present and motivated to give their best effort each and every day.
One quick note: We’ve included a reminder below about supervision during school sporting events. Tonight is the Homecoming football game at MHS. If your student plans to attend, they must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times and should not be at the game unattended.
As always, please reach out if you have any questions.
Go Trojans!
-Robert Kratzig, Principal
-Jill Hammack, Assistant Principal

FAMILY GUIDES |
|
We often hear from families that they’d like more information about what their children are learning at school. Last year, we started sending out Family Guides alongside each quarter’s report card. These guides gave families a snapshot of what the grades represented and what students had been working on.
This year, we’re taking it a step further. Instead of waiting until the end of the quarter, we’ll make Family Guides available during the quarter. This way, you can see the standards and learning targets your child will be engaging with while they are happening. Our hope is that this helps you ask more specific questions, celebrate progress along the way, and feel more connected to what’s happening in the classroom.
We know that when families and schools work together, students thrive. The Family Guides are just one way we’re trying to keep that partnership strong and make learning more transparent for everyone.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION |
If your student plans to attend an MMS sporting event, please have them go home after school and return at the start of the event. We are unable to supervise students between the end of the school day and game time.
Please also note that school staff do not provide supervision during sporting events. Students must be accompanied by a responsible adult in order to attend. If a student remains on campus after school or arrives at a game without an adult, they will be asked to call home for a ride to leave the event.
These same expectations apply when middle school students attend high school sporting events. Students must always have a responsible adult present in order to attend.

Transportation Changes
All requests must be made before 2:00 pm. If your student already knows their transportation is different for the day (for example, they usually ride the bus but today you’ll be picking them up), you do not need to contact the office.
Bus Change Requests
If your student is riding a different bus (such as going home with a friend), a written request from a parent/guardian or a phone call to the office is required. Requests must be submitted to the main office before 2:00 pm.
Early Dismissals
The best way to ensure your student is ready for an early pick-up is to send a note in the morning. If you call instead, please contact us at least 10 minutes before pick-up time so we can transition your student to the office.
Pick-Up by Someone Other than Parent/Guardian
If someone other than a parent, guardian, or emergency contact will be picking up your student, the office must hear directly from a parent. Please provide the person’s name and relationship to your student.
