Caruso Connect - May 24th
Caruso Middle School is an inclusive and vibrant community where Blue Jays
take ownership of their social-emotional and academic growth by supporting,
challenging, and celebrating self and others.
Good Evening Blue Jay Families:
As we approach the end of the year we are also planning for next year. I am sure that your students are already starting to think about what it will be like to be in 7th, 8th or 9th grade. While it is exciting to plan for the future, we need to help support our students where they are currently at. These last few weeks of school are filled with special events and culminating experiences. We hope you can take some time this long weekend to talk to your students about these last two-ish weeks of school and what support they may need. We encourage all of our students to finish the year strong and to continue to make good choices.

PE Cold Weather Gear
Deadline: Wednesday, July 10, 2024
Caruso is pleased to offer cold weather gear options for ALL 6th, 7th & 8th grade Physical Education (PE) Classes. We want to emphasize that purchasing these items is entirely optional. However, should you decide to acquire them, students will have the flexibility to wear these specialized garments both indoors and outdoors during PE sessions.
Our initiative to provide these specialized items is designed to ensure that students have suitable attire for PE activities, distinct from their regular school attire. This distinction is crucial as regular clothing can become sweaty and soiled during physical exertion. Additionally, the Cold Weather Gear features students' names on the backs of the sweatshirts, adding a personalized touch.
To place an order for the Caruso hoodie and sweatpants, please click on the provided link below. Orders will be conveniently delivered directly to the school during the first week of August and distributed on locker day or during the first week of school should you choose to wait. Kindly note that Wednesday, July 10, 2024 is the hard deadline for placing orders.
Furthermore, it's important to mention that the cost of PE shorts and shirts has already been covered by all families through school fees. These items will be distributed to students at the beginning of the school year. Should you have any inquiries or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Signa at msigna@dps109.org.
