Thank you to everyone who assisted us in chaperoning the MTSS dance on Friday. This was our first outside dance and the first dance in almost 2 years! We had an incredible number of parents and guardians volunteer to help us out. We appreciate your time and willingness to provide our students with something "normal". We couldn't do these events without your support. Again, thank you to everyone who was able to assist us!

2020-2021 Yearbooks are in!

Yearbooks from last year are finally in and will be distributed to students during their ELA classes on Monday and Tuesday. If you have a child that has moved on to Chopticon, yearbooks can be picked up during the day from the main office. We will also have an after-school pick-up available on Wednesday, September 15th from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Please stop by the main office. If you still have child siblings at MBMS and would like the books to go home with them, email Mrs. Kamp with their names so she can get the book to them. jmkamp@smcps.org

-If you missed out on purchasing a yearbook, there are a few still available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Email Mrs. Kamp with any interest. jmkamp@smcps.org

2021-2022 Yearbooks are on sale!

This year's theme is Game On 2022! Books are currently on sale and can be purchased online from the following link.

https://www.jostens.com/apps/store/customer/1066787/Margaret-Brent-Middle-School/

This site allows you to purchase your yearbook, a yearbook ad for your student, as well as MBMS spirit gear!

Homeroom teachers will also be sending home an order form for purchasing. If paying by check, make them payable to MBMS. Checks made payable to Jostens will take longer to clear, as they have to be mailed directly to Jostens for them to cash. Payment can be dropped off to homeroom teachers or to Mrs. Kamp in room 219. Any questions can be directed to Mrs. Kamp. jmkamp@smcps.org

Picture Day is this week!

- Picture day will be on Tuesday September 14th. Students will go down to the Auxiliary Gym with their ELA teachers to get their portraits taken for the yearbook. Order forms were distributed to students on Friday by homeroom teachers. Again, if you have any questions, you can direct those to Mrs. Kamp. jmkamp@smcps.org

Bus passes are reserved for emergency situations only. We will not be able to provide bus passes for sleepovers, parties, or other non-emergency situations. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.

Parents who need to pick up their children early should call the front office no later than

2:00 PM.

Please label your personal items to include lunch boxes, book bags, PE clothes, hoodies, hats, jackets, coats etc. Middle school students oftentimes leave their belongings behind. If names are on those items, it is easier to get them back to their rightful owner. Otherwise, those nameless items go in the lost and found and are typically still there at the end of the year.

Please label items with first AND last names.

We already have a collection of lunch boxes and water bottles without names. These items are on the stage in the cafeteria and should be claimed by the owners during lunches.
