Good Day Everyone,
Last week we talked about the blended learning model used at MSS. This week I would like to highlight student collaboration. Research supports student collaboration as a best practice to increase student engagement and learning. Please see an example of this in action from our high school science class in a picture below.
This week is homecoming. MSS will be participating in activities voted on by our students and staff. We encourage everyone to participate. Please see the flyer attached below.
The end of the 1st 9 weeks, which represents 1/4 of the school year, is quickly approaching. We are reviewing academic, behavior and attendance data for year end projections. Please ensure that your child is present everyday, giving their best effort, taking advantage of all resources and adhering to the behavior expectations. This puts your child in the best position to be successful.
Parents, as a reminder, if your phone number changes please notify the school with the updated information. Also remember students may use evening school hours to make up attendance. Six evening school hours can replace one absent day.
We have seen a rise in dress code violations as the weather is poised to transition to Fall. Please be reminded of our hoodie policy. Students are NOT allowed to wear hoodies on their heads inside of the school building. If a student receives three hoodie infractions he/she will no longer be allowed to wear articles of clothing with hoods attached. Please encourage your child to avoid infractions by being in compliance with the established dress code.
Weekly COVID-19 testing has begun. If you would like for your child to receive weekly onsite testing please request a form, complete, sign, and return it. Testing is just one of the many mitigation strategies we are using. Students are encouraged to wear a mask while in the building, to wash or sanitize their hands frequently, and to watch their social distancing.
Our school hours are from 7:30 a.m.-2:10 p.m. Our evening school hours are 2:30 p.m.- 6:30 p.m. Monday -Thursday. Please review the dress code with your son/daughter. As a reminder feel free to contact the school at (478) 353-8400 with any questions or concerns.
