Dear Families,

We appreciate the flexibility and cooperation this week as we have made changes to our drop-off and pick-up procedures. These changes have been focused on how to keep our students, staff and families safe. Next week, the students at MMS are taking MAP Reading and Math Assessments to help us better understand how to meet their individual academic needs and goals. Please be sure that students are getting enough sleep at night and eating a breakfast every day, so they are ready to focus and have fun engaging in their learning. Please save the date for Thursday, August 29th at 6:00pm to attend our curriculum night, which will provide you with detailed information on what your child will be learning for the 2024-25 school year. We are looking forward to a great year filled with so many educational and extracurricular opportunities for our students.

As always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the school year.

Sincerely,

Natalie Czarnecki

Executive Principal
