Eagle's Post - 3/20/26

Hello Middle School South Families,

We have officially entered into our final quarter of the school year. It is hard to believe how quickly a school year can go.

We have a lot of celebrations to share this week, so please continue to read on and see what our students have accomplished! Additionally, we have a few announcements from our MSS PTO and a few other pieces of information.

I hope that all of our students, staff, and families have a wonderful Spring Break!

Spring Break

Congratulations to all of the MSS IESA State Wrestlers this past weekend! What a great tournament for the Eagles! Congrats to Logan Wood and Michael Giannini on fighting hard and competing with some very talented competition. They left it all on the mat!

Congratulations to Max Schmidt on placing second in state for his weight class at the IESA State Wrestling meet. Max wrestled with heart, passion, and put the state on notice that he will be an opponent to be reckoned with next year!

Congratulations to CJ Abrantes on winning the state championship for his weight class at the IESA State Wrestling meet. This is the second year in a row that CJ came back a champion, making him the first Middle School South student to win state two times!

District 95 will host the Options Fair on April 16 from 6:00–8:00 p.m. at Lake Zurich High School. The Options Fair provides individuals with disabilities and their families an opportunity to connect with community agencies and essential resources that support future planning.

Additional information is available on the flyer linked HERE.

Needed Forms Prior to First Day of Activity/Tryout:

For students interested in trying out and participating in a sport, students must have the following:

• Physical: All students participating in tryouts and a sport must have a current physical or sports physical on file. Physicals are good for one year and one month from the date the physical was conducted. Please check to make sure your physical is current prior to tryouts or the start of an athletic activity. The physical should be turned into the Nurse’s Office.

• Emergency Information Form: Students must have a completed and signed Emergency Information Form for each activity they are trying out for/participating in. They will need to turn this form in to the coach or sponsor at the time of tryouts. If try-outs are not required, then the form should be turned in at the first meeting of the sport or activity.

All registration for activities will be in ParentVUE and information about registration will be sent later this summer.
