The Scholar Scoop
September 2026
Strong Start
Our middle school students have set the bar high and truly risen to our Phoenix Pride expectations!
Grade-Level Highlights
6th Grade: Embracing a new 45-minute bell schedule allowing them to engage with each core teacher every day.
7th Grade: Building strong connections in their core classes while expanding their learning through middle school electives with 8th grade students.
8th Grade: Continuing to lead by example, and demonstrating leadership in the hallways and academic excellence in both middle and high school credit-bearing courses.
Academic Excellence
Academic Rigor: We remain focused on challenging students to think critically and engage deeply in their learning.
Academic Support: If your scholar needs additional support in a class, please encourage them to communicate directly with their teacher. Individual tutoring times are set by each teacher.
Keep Soaring
Get Connected: We encourage our scholars to participate in clubs and extracurricular activities to build connections within our school community.
We are proud of our middle school scholars and look forward to watching them grow this year. Keep soaring, Phoenixes!
Parents:
In the coming weeks I will be teaching an Erin’s Law lesson in your child’s class. Erin’s Law requires that all public schools in each state implement a prevention-oriented child sexual abuse program. Click here for more information.
Along with teaching Erin’s Law, a portion will include internet safety. Here is a link to the video.
6th grade: 9-14-2026 and 9-15-2026
7th grade: 9-29-2026 and 9-30-2026
8th grade: 10-5-2026 and 10-6-2026
With Sincere Thanks
I want to sincerely thank all of our families who have already sent in or donated classroom supplies. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and helps us start the school year prepared and ready to go!
I know that times are tough for many families, which makes your willingness to send in extra supplies even more meaningful. Every box of tissues, pack of pencils, container of wipes, and other classroom items helps more than you may realize.
We are continuing to accept supply donations throughout the year, and every little bit truly makes a difference.
Thank you again for supporting our classrooms, our students, and our school community. It is very much appreciated!
Mr. Ogletree
