Dear MUMS community,
It's hard to believe this our last family newsletter of this school year! At this time next week, all of our students will have transitioned into summer! There has been an incredible amount of learning, growth and joy this school year and I look forward to celebrating next week at Promotion, Branbury and Field Days!

Greetings MUMS Caregivers!
Lots of amazing projects are coming to fruition in many classes as we wrap up the school year! 8th graders are finishing electric guitars in Design, “Wild Projects” in Art, and Personal Interest Projects in General Music! For the Music projects, students are creating their own bands or pursuing a musical interest. Students must investigate their topic using research, develop and apply musical skills, use creative thinking to create a final product of performance, and self-evaluate through reflection. For the electric guitars in Design, students also engage in a research process, collaborative design, and build the guitar (including the electronic components.), and evaluate using reflection. For the Wild Project in Art, students go through their own independent ideation process to develop their final project, create new unique works that interest them, write an artist’s statement, and evaluate through reflection. It is really wonderful to see our 8th graders using this design process (Inquiring, Developing ideas, Creating, and Evaluating) in different ways to create and learn independently as they prepare to transition to 9th grade.
Student Absences, Dismissals + Bus Notes
If your student will be absent from school, needs an early dismissal, or will take a different bus, please follow these directions:
- Absence / early dismissal: Call 802-382-1297, the MUMS attendance line, before 8:30am (helpful tip: add this number to your phone now as "MUMS attendance line")
- Early dismissal + bus notes: Students must deliver a caregiver's note to the front office when arriving at school (before TA).
