This Week...
Welcome Back!
- First Day of School - Monday 08/24/26
North Middle School Families-
What a great first week of school! It was exciting to welcome students back and see our hallways filled with energy, learning, and new opportunities. We appreciate your support as we work together to make this a successful school year for every student.
The first week has been focused on building relationships, establishing routines, and setting clear expectations for learning and behavior. Our students have done a great job adjusting to schedules, meeting new teachers, and getting back into the rhythm of school.
As we move forward, we will continue to emphasize the Patriot Traits:
- Respect – Treating ourselves, others, and our school with respect.
- Responsibility – Making good choices and taking ownership of our learning and actions.
- Integrity – Doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.
Your partnership is an important part of student success. Please encourage your student to establish good routines at home, including getting enough sleep, arriving at school on time, completing assignments, and communicating with teachers when they need help.
If questions or concerns arise, please reach out to your student's teacher or the school. We want to maintain an open-door approach and work together to support your student.
The foundation we establish during these first few weeks will help shape the rest of the year. Our goal is to create an environment where every student feels safe, supported, valued, and challenged to reach their potential. We want this to be a memorable experience for students, parents, and staff!
Thank you for trusting us with your students and for being an important part of our school community. We are looking forward to a great year!
Go Patriots!
Sincerely,
Chris Koch
