Welcome to the Middle
Back to School Welcome for Keystone Middle School
Dear Keystone Families,
As we step into a brand-new school year at Keystone Middle School, we do so with hearts full of optimism and hope. This year brings with it fresh opportunities to learn, grow, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Every new school year is a chance to start anew—to set goals, try new things, and challenge ourselves to be the best we can be. Whether you're returning or joining us for the first time, know that you are an important part of our Keystone community.
Our teachers and staff have been working hard to prepare for an exciting year ahead. We are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and enriching environment where every student can thrive.
Let's embrace this year with enthusiasm, curiosity, and the determination to make it a great one. Together, we can achieve wonderful things and make this school year one to remember.
Welcome back, and here's to a fantastic year ahead!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Gibson
Principal, Keystone Middle School

Pay-to-Participate
Before your Wildcat’s first athletic contest, it is essential that all Pay-to-Participate fees are paid in full or a payment plan is established. These fees, which can be found on PowerSchool or on PaySchools, help cover the costs of equipment, coaching, facilities, and other essential expenses that make our sports program possible. We understand that financial circumstances can vary, and we are here to work with you to ensure that every student who wishes to participate has the opportunity to do so. Please reach out to our athletic department or the school office if you have any questions or need assistance in setting up a payment plan.
Please note, fees cannot be paid on the PowerSchool app. Instead, you must login to PaySchools.
First sport: $150
Second sport: $125
Third+ sport: $75
