MT's purpose is to educate and empower students to become responsible citizens.
A Few Words From the Principal
This week we were able to see our students connect with each other and the school with the start of several new afterschool clubs. Mrs. Corbitt hosted several students in our crochet and needlepoint club and Mrs. Ketterling lead book club. Mr. Fugate continued our well-attended Dungeons and Dragons again this year. Look for more club information in our Activities and Clubs section after conferences.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you at conferences next week. Everyone is welcome to come and talk with teachers on Wednesday from 4:00pm-7:30pm and Thursday from 5:05pm- 8:00pm. This is a time for open walk-in conferences. All the teachers will be in the gym and Media Center waiting to talk to you. If you would like to schedule an appointment teams are available on Thursday from 9:30am-4:05pm. Teams should have sent information to you regarding scheduled conferences. If they haven't, please reach out to your student's teachers for more information.
We will be handing out FastBridge result information at conferences.
Looking forward to seeing you all.

Good Things at MTMS
Our Timberwolves Are Shopping! Help Keep Wolf Tracks Stocked! 🐺
Our Timberwolves have been busy shopping at the Wolf Tracks Store, and it's time to restock! Students earn Wolf Tracks tickets for demonstrating safe, respectful, and responsible behavior, then use them to shop for rewards each month.
Want to help us keep the shelves stocked and the positive choices coming? Shop our Wolf Tracks Amazon Wish List to purchase items directly for our store. Every donation helps us celebrate students who make MTMS a great place to learn and belong. Thank you for your support!
