Middle School Principal’s Letter
Dear Parents,
Thank you for taking the time to read this week’s version of the News and Views. It has been an eventful week filled with significant achievements, including the culmination of summative assessments and the finalization of various projects.
I congratulate the JV track team for their remarkable performance in Athens last weekend, showcasing exceptional talent and dedication. In London, our tennis team triumphantly emerged as ISSA champions for boys, while the girls secured an impressive second place. Furthermore, the middle school golf team displayed unwavering determination in Malaga, Spain, earning a well-deserved bronze medal. We commend these athletes for their commendable efforts. Please refer to the attached photos for a glimpse of their success.
It was a pleasure to witness the growth and development of our drama student’s acting skills, proudly showcased recently. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the parents who graced the performance with their presence. And it was good to see how much growth they had made since the first week of class. I wish to thank the parents who were in attendance. It makes all the difference to our students, instilling a sense of pride and motivation. Thanks to Ms. Dolly for the organization of the MS Cabaret Theater.
With great enthusiasm, I share the news of Ms. Heba Abdelnady’s visit to our middle school as part of our esteemed guest speaker program, particularly for Mr. Jorge Villafuerte’s class. The visit took place on Tuesday and offered students invaluable insights into entrepreneurship. They had the unique opportunity to explore an electric car parked on campus, experiencing the serenity of its engine and gaining firsthand knowledge about its components.
Thank you to the incoming fifth-grade parent for attending the PRIME Trips presentation and learning about the outstanding opportunities their child will have to engage in. PRIME Trips mean a great deal to our students, setting the tone for relationship-building early in the school year. The cost-benefit is instrumental in the student’s social and emotional well-being. It is one of the experiences about middle school that students will remember for years.
Grade eight parents, you are cordially invited to join us on Monday, June 5th at 6:00 PM for our 8th Grade Recognition Night, where we will celebrate your child’s successful completion of middle school and transition to high school. The ceremony will be held in the CAC Theater. We will start promptly at 6:00 PM and conclude with a reception on the HS field from 7:00-9:00 PM. This reception will include finger food, refreshments, and other surprises organized by the 8th-grade parent community to make this event a unique and memorable celebration for our students.
Thank you for your continuous support of the Middle School.
In Partnership,
Courtney Bailey
The Middle School Principal

Mandatory Orientation for Grade 9 students – Mark Your Calendars!
Hello, Grade 8 families,
The High School Counselors enjoyed meeting you in February at the evening session to introduce high school held for parents as well as during advisory with students. We will meet with the 8th grade students again during another advisory in late May to talk more about the transition to high school, which will include a current Grade 9 student panel.
Today, I want to let you know about the Mandatory Orientation for Grade 9 students to be held in August so you can mark your calendars so that your student can attend.
The session will be held on campus on Tuesday, August 15th at lunch time (lunch will be served). Please plan to have your student be on campus that day from 12:30-1:30 pm for their orientation. We wanted to let you know now so your student can Save The Date and you can plan to have them on campus that day. Classes start on August 16th.
On behalf of myself, Mr. Semler and Ms. Stiles, we look forward to working with your students in high school next year!

HS Counselor
