As part of a special edition of SLCS Speaks this week, our talented 8th grade Mustang Moments students shared what they are grateful for this season.

This week's artist of the week is seventh grader Luke Nixon. Luke used one point perspective to recreate his bedroom. He consistently strives for attention to detail and accuracy in his artwork. Keep up the great work Luke!

Students learned about the process of mummification and the ancient Egyptian belief of the afterlife. They created a HEADLINE which is a Culture of Thinking activity designed to build understanding of big ideas and core principles.

Get ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming our way (YAY!). Choosing their own books empowers kids and inspires students on their journey to becoming lifelong readers - and every purchase benefits our school.

The big event will take place from Monday, December 4th to Friday, December 8th in the Library Gallery.

Say goodbye to cash and hello to eWallet—your child’s digital payment account. Before the Fair, set up eWallet for worry-free, cash-free purchases. Anyone can contribute! Share each child’s eWallet so friends and family can add funds and give your kids more books to enjoy.

If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop at our school’s Book Fair online. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Every online purchase will also benefit our school.

Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/millenniummiddleschool1

On Tuesday, December 5th from 5:30-7:30 PM, MMS will host the first ever Family Fun Night!

Hallway:

Students are expected to walk on the right side of the hallway, keeping their hands, legs and other body parts to themselves. It is also expected that students are communicating with their friends at an appropriate volume and free of profanity or vulgarity. Students that need to use the hallway outside of passing period, should request an e-hall pass from their current teacher.

Cafeteria:

Students are expected to remain seated during their lunch period. Additionally, It is also expected that students are communicating with their friends at an appropriate volume and free of profanity or vulgarity. Students are expected to throw away their garbage and clean up after themselves before leaving the cafeteria. Students can use their ECD during lunch, however if using audio, students should utilize headphones. Students cannot take pictures or video record when using their cell phone. If a student needs to use the restroom or leave the cafeteria for any reason, they need to sign out using e-hall pass and obtain permission from the lunchroom monitor.. Students that want to eat in the library, need to create an e-hall pass and receive approval from Ms. Jones-Tims.

Bus:

Students are expected to remain in their seats while the bus is moving. It is also expected that students are communicating with their friends at an appropriate volume and free of profanity or vulgarity, so bus driver directives can be heard at all times. Students should not have any body part outside of the bus while riding the bus. For additional transportation expectations, please see page 73 of the Student Handbook.

Students are expected to follow these basic expectations while walking in the hallway, eating in the cafeteria and riding the bus. All students have the right to feel safe and comfortable here at Millennium Middle School. By adhering to the above expectations, students can learn and socialize in a setting conducive for all students and staff members. Please see our Code of Conduct on page 40 of the Student Handbook for additional information.

We know that many MMS students walk after school and spend time at local businesses. There have been multiple incidents with middle school students that required the involvement of law enforcement. Even if law enforcement isn't required, there have been some behaviors that are not an positive reflection of our student body. If your student is going downtown, please have a conversation with her/him and encourage her/him to make good and safe decisions. We want all of our students to stay safe both in and out of school.
