Visit the middle school minute for updates specific to middle school students from your teachers.

There are lots of illnesses going around both the elementary and middle schools at this time. While teachers and custodians are doing their best to disinfect rooms and common spaces, we also need your help!

If your student is diagnosed with flu, RSV, or covid, please email Nurse Darby and let her know. She is working to keep up with what is going around, and this communication is a huge help for her in keeping tabs on what she needs to report. You can also copy Mrs. Calhoun on the email and use the notification as a parent excuse for your absence. If you have any questions, please reach out to Nurse Darby.

Nurse Darby - Christina.Darby@hsv-k12.org

Mrs. Calhoun - Ramona.Calhoun@hsv-k12.org

Our school wide goal for attendance is 98% present each and every school day. Every day counts! Please plan appointments early enough that your student can be checked in by 11:30 or later in the day so that they can be in school until at least 11:30 in order to avoid being counted absent. Please remember, everyday counts!

Form attendance excuses were sent home last week for you to use if your child is absent and needs a parent excuse. A blank copy is attached below. You do not have to use this excuse, but we hopes it makes providing excuses a little easier! Blank copies are also kept at the front office and you can fill them out when you come to drop your child off late or pick your child up early.

We're so excited to put together a AAA Family Cookbook! Please submit your recipes by February 10th. Students can also submit entries for the cover contest using the attachment above.

See the attachment below for information regarding bus routes.

It is almost time to let the GOOD TIMES ROLL at our upcoming book fair!!! The Crane Book Fair takes place February 21-26. Parents may shop Tuesday night during the Masked Reader & Living Wax Museum Night Event.

Use the link below to sign up to volunteer. You can also purchase your student a gift card to use at the bookfair through the link below.

Remember to wear your house shirt every Thursday! Middle school can wear their grade level color or AAA Middle t-shirt.

The AAA Lost and Found needs clothes hangers! If you have extra hangers that you'd like to donate, please send them to school with your child or feel free to bring them to the front office. We have lots of nice things in lost and found, and we would love to hang them up and make them easier to find!

View the video linked below to hear some of our middle school students sing it for you!

Order forms for middle school t-shirts came home with report cards. 6th grade is represented by black, 7th by green, and 8th by orange. The cost is $8 per shirt. Please send in your money and order forms if you'd like to order! We will wear these on designated days of the week throughout the school year.
