Greetings middle school families!

we have two upcoming events before the school year starts!

first up is the 6th grade open house, on Tuesday, 8/25 from 5:00-7:30. This is the opportunity for our incoming 6th grade families to meet their team teachers, explore the extra curricular activities we offer, and for students to get their chromebook! We will have the paperwork ready to fill out so that students can get their chromebook that night!

Next up is the community night, on Wednesday, 8/26 from 3:30-5:30, with an opportunity for 7th and 8th grade students to pick up their schedule for classes and to pick up their chromebook before the year starts!

We hope to see you all for these events to start the school year off!
