Hey MMS Wolves,

Are you a current 7th graders that is interested in being a WEB Leader for the 2023/2024 school year? Fantastic

WHAT’S WEB? WEB is an orientation program to welcome in our 6th graders so that they get off to a great start at Mountain View Middle School. You, as a WEB Leader, would play a crucial role in that because you can share what you’ve learned through the years you’ve been here so far. You, along with other 8th graders, will be trained in how to work with incoming 6th graders. You and a partner will have a small group of about ten 6th graders that you will guide, mentor and lead through the year.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS? Well, because we need student leaders to step up and be an important part of our school. Since you have been recognized as a Leader, here’s your chance. And, it’s going to be fun! Who doesn’t want to have fun?

WHAT’S THE COMMITMENT? You can see on the attached application that if you are selected to be a WEB Leader, there are some mandatory dates. It all starts with a fun, interactive day where you get to meet your fellow WEB Leaders, then a couple training days, then orientation and then reconnecting throughout the school year so that the 6th graders know that someone has their back. It sounds like a lot but it takes a lot to make a difference in the world. Attached, you will find a WEB Leader Application. If you are interested in applying, please fill out the entire form and turn it in by the deadline: April 22nd at 2:50PM.

Mandatory WEB Dates:

Spring Play Day: June 2nd during 5th and 6th period

WEB Leader Training Days: Aug 24th and 25th from 8am-1pm @MMS (Bring a lunch both days)

Aug 31st from 4-6pm @MMS

If you would like to learn more about being a WEB Leader before you apply, we’ll be hosting a few meetings for you to find out more:

• 4/17 7-7:45 PM 4/17 WEB Zoom Meeting Link
  

If you have additional questions, you can email Mrs.Kieswether at avery_laurin@sumnersd.org or stop by ROOM 103 before/after school.

We strive to provide the best possible education for all students. In doing so, feedback is critical in helping our schools continually improve. On April 11, the District emailed all families a link to a survey, inviting your sharing of perceptions about the job we are doing in providing a quality education for your child(ren).

Your survey responses, along with other research and analysis, play an important part in the development of each school’s annual improvement plan, which includes goals that are specific, data-driven and measurable.

Families with multiple children may complete one survey per child. If you don’t have an email address on file with the district, or if you didn’t receive the email message, use this link to access the family survey. Hard copies are also available at your child’s school.

Thanks, in advance, for your time and participation. The survey deadline is April 25.

A reminder that all incoming 7th graders for the 23/24 SY will need to have a Tdap booster before starting school in the fall. If a Certificate of Exemption is needed please contact your child's provider for one.

FYI: Students are allowed to bring/have sunscreen at school without a Doctor's order. They can also carry non-medicated cough drops like lemon or honey.

If you haven't already explored our Health Services tab, please check it out. There you will find everything you need to know regarding health related information like; medication at school, when to keep your child home, frequently asked questions and much more.

Please make sure your contact information is updated in Skyward regularly. It is important to be able to contact parents and guardians in a timely manner, especially if there is an urgent medical need.

Any other questions or concerns please let me know.
