Middle School Attendance
If your student will be absent, please call the Middle School attendance line at 616-696-9100 (option 3) to excuse them. Leave your name, your student's name, the reason for the absence, and any other necessary details. If your student arrives late or needs to leave early, please sign them in or out at the MS office. For medical or dental appointments, bring a doctor’s note when your student returns to school.
Middle School PIcture Day
Middle School picture day is on September 10. There won't be a formal order form sent home. Geskus will mail or email a proof after picture day, and parents or guardians will place orders online directly with Geskus. Please avoid having your student wear green, as a green screen will be used for the backdrop.
FitnessPalooza
Get ready for Fitness Palooza, kicking off on September 3rd!
We're raising money to support our students, and we need your help. All proceeds will go towards student activities, school culture initiatives, spirit wear, and unique extracurricular experiences. Look for more information coming home with your student on September 3, 2024.
As students collect donations, they’ll have the chance to earn prizes, and the top classroom in each grade level will win an ice cream or pizza party! Let's make this a great event for our students!
