Hi everyone,
Remember your first day of middle school when the schedule seemed confusing and you realized just how many stairs stand between the first and fourth floors!? If a Student Ambassador helped you survive those early days, now is your chance to pay it forward.
We are looking for the next group of Student Ambassadors to help with 5th Grade Fly Up and New Family Orientation. You’ll be the friendly faces that help new students transition into middle school life with a little less stress.
If you want to help out, please fill out the application below by next Thursday, April 9th.
Student Ambassador Questionnaire
Filling this out doesn’t automatically mean you’re in. We’re looking for thoughtful, leader-quality responses, so don't just rush through it!
Let me know if you have any questions.
Have a great day,
Ms. Martinez
The Additional space for lunch is going to be the wood floor gym from March 29 - June 4.
Some students are still unclear about our safety protocols...
During Sirens:
No one can be outside.
Transition Time
If you have a class in another building (PE, Drama, Band), wait in the Atrium (near the elevator between ES and HS) for Mr. Thomas or Ms. Mac to escort you over to the other building.
If you are returning from those spaces - wait undercover for Mr. Thomas or Ms. Mac.
At lunch
If you hear a siren, please move to one of our MS inside spaces immediately.
FINDING YOUR GRADES
Some students had mentioned they were having trouble seeing their grades in PowerSchool. We have checked the system and believe everything is set up correctly there. To help students, the PowerSchool Team created THIS SLIDESHOW.
ALL Middle School students can use the cafe.
Things to remember:
The cafe is ONLY AVAILABLE TO MS DURING LUNCH
MS students should NOT be there during breaks
This is a quiet area - people 5m away should NOT understand your conversation
Drop in a "Just Because" for someone who has made a difference for you :)

Spirit Week isn’t just an excuse to wear pajamas or a wacky hat to school (though that’s a pretty great perk). We do it because Middle School is hard work, and every community needs a moment to pause, let loose, and share a collective laugh. At its heart, Spirit Week is about joy and belonging. When we all show up in our theme-day gear, it breaks down the usual social walls and reminds us that we’re all part of the same team.
Participating is one of the easiest ways to build school pride. Whether you go "all out" with a full costume or just add a small accessory, you’re helping create an atmosphere that is high-energy and welcoming. Plus, let’s be honest: it’s hard to stay stressed about a quiz when half the hallway is dressed like superheroes or wearing mismatched socks.
Don't be the person sitting on the sidelines! Dive in, be a little silly, and help us make this week a highlight of the year.
