Middle School Assemblies and Student Performances

Do you have a passion for performance? We're looking for students or groups of students who would be interested in performing during the middle school assemblies throughout the school year. This could be a chance for you to show off something that you've been working on. It could be a solo performance or a group performance. Ideas could be a song, a dance, a skit, or anything up on the stage. We'd love to see what you can do!

If you are interested, please see/email Mr. Chip and/or Mr. Spencer.

Please note that Archery will be relocated to the small field behind the Field's Bleachers for the whole session.

Thank you for your understanding and flexibility.

Lunchtime Spaces

There have been reports of Middle School students going onto the tennis courts during lunch breaks - this is NOT a space for MS children during lunch or breaks.

MS can't use the tennis courts because:

ES & HS are currently using it for classes
There is no MS supervision

For everyone's benefit, MS children can use the following spaces during lunch

MS Field (at designated times)
Alternate space - currently MS Gym
Pergola
Cafeteria
Cafe / Learning Commons
MS Commons

Dear Students,

Please note that the girls’ main gym locker room will be closed on Wednesday, September 17, for maintenance. The girls' bathroom in the gym entrance will be available.

Thank you for your understanding.

Important Notice!

Students can NOT sell products (eg. squishies, candy, cards) on campus for personal gain.

If you wish to raise money for charity, see Ms. Mac to help organize a sanctioned fundraising event.

Moving forward, should we see items being sold, they will be confiscated and your parent will have to come in to the MS Office to collect them.

If you have questions about this rule, feel free to chat with Ms. Mac.

Check your email for a message from Ms. Martinez with the latests Wellness Survey!

Drop in a "Just Because" for someone who has made a difference for you :)

Yearbook photos will be taken this week (Sept 14-18)!!!

Guess who - MS school photos

Message from Ms. MAC

When we make everyone feel welcome, our school becomes a kinder and more supportive place. Research shows when children feel like they belong, they feel more confident, ready to learn, and excited to be at school.

One of the best ways to build that sense of belonging is by making friends in different groups. Each new friend can introduce you to new ideas, games, and experiences, which makes school more fun and interesting. You can help with this in class, in the cafeteria, on the field, on the bus, or during ASAs.

By reaching out and expanding your circle of friends, you not only help others feel included, but you also grow yourself by discovering new friendships and perspectives.
