March Weekly Update

Welcome to March! Lots of exciting things coming up! Please watch backpacks for permission slips as there will be due dates attached so your student can participate.

Just a reminder on April 10th, all 8th Graders will report at the normal start time of 7:51AM to complete the PSAT 8. All students in grades 6 & 7 will report for PM classes at 11:00AM. Please see the attached letter.

When we return from Spring Break students will attend a field trip to the MJR to see Snow White. Concessions were presale on the permission slips.

I had fun passing out chocolate coins and the luck of the Irish to students who were RISE-ing for success in our halls. We had a great time getting to meet our incoming 6th graders as groups from Cromie, Wilkerson and Wilde elementary schools visited Carter. When we return from spring break, our 4th quarter will begin. I'm looking forward to the fun opportunities we have planned in the spring and seeing everyone finish the year strong. I hope everyone has a great break and we'll see you all in April.

On Thursday, March 20th we welcomed the 5th grade students from Cromie, Wilde & Wilkerson for a presentation and a tour of our building. They will come back in May to enjoy lunch with our students before they start in the Fall of 2025 as 6th Graders!

If you currently have a 5th grader that will be joining us at Carter Middle School for 6th Grade for the 2025-2026 School Year please join us on Monday, April 28, 2025 for our 6th Grade Orientation.

Permission slips for the All School Field Trip on Friday, April 4th were due on Wednesday, March 19th. If your student hasn't turned their permission slip in to their 2nd hour teacher please have them do so as soon as possible.

Look for the next field trip form to be out soon for our 6th Graders going to Comerica Park on April 23, 2025.
