A Message from Mrs. Hummel
Did you hear the news? Both our 7th and 8th grade girls' volleyball teams ended their season as SCVC conference champions! The 7th grade team was also undefeated! We are so proud of how hard the girls worked all season.
We hope that you have had a chance to meet with some teachers over the last week, or have an appointment scheduled for a conference next week. Please remember that while this is our designated timeframe for parent-teacher conferences, parents are welcome to request a meeting with a teacher at any time to discuss concerns about their child's academic progress.
As we are already in the second half of October, I would also like to remind families that we do NOT dress up for Halloween at the middle school. On Friday, Oct. 30th, we have a half day and have planned some fun activities for the students during our community-building time we host during the last hour of every day. However, the fun activities do not include costumes.
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
In partnership,
Heidi Hummel
