It’s hard to believe we’ve already completed the first quarter of the year! Your students have shown such impressive commitment and leadership, and they are truly making Merrimack Middle School their own. We can’t wait to see all they accomplish next! A big congratulations to our boys and girls soccer teams for their incredible playoff runs. While the final scores didn’t go our way, our athletes demonstrated outstanding teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship, representing MMS with pride. We also want to congratulate all of our fall athletes on a successful season and wish our 8th graders the best as they prepare for high school athletics. Winter sports are just around the corner!

In our ongoing effort to increase school security, we have the following procedures when parents/guardians come to our school during school hours. Thank you all for your understanding.

Dismissal - If dismissing a student, we ask that an authorized dismissing parent/guardian show their ID in the foyer, and then wait in that location for the dismissed student to meet you.

Dropping off items - If a parent/guardian is dropping off an item for a student, we ask that they leave it in the designated area in the foyer.

Visiting the school - If parents/guardians are arriving for a scheduled meeting, we ask that they show their ID in the foyer and then sign in at the main office to receive a visitor pass.
