Middle School Principal’s Letter
Dear Parents,
Thank you for taking the time to read this week’s version of the News and Views. The Principal’s Perspective. I hope this message finds you well as we navigate the second week with Back To School Night.
I want to thank all parents who attended the Back To School Night. It was a pleasure to meet face-to-face and reconnect after a prolonged online period. The experience provided a valuable platform for you to witness the dedication and passion of our teachers, who will spend extensive hours each day guiding and nurturing your children’s educational journeys. Teaching is undoubtedly a challenging profession, particularly evident during the unprecedented circumstances brought about by the pandemic.
We hope you will partner with teachers to help your child navigate their middle school experience. The middle school years are pivotal to a child’s development. A positive partnership between families and schools improves children’s academic achievement, social competencies, and emotional well-being. Research has shown that this partnership will benefit the child immensely.
The season one of athletics and activities will start on Sunday, September 3rd. We ask that you help students prepare themselves the night before with everything they need to get off to a good start.
In other news, the seventh-grade social studies students recently engaged in a dynamic activity where they brought our core values to life. The level of enthusiasm and participation was inspiring.
Additionally, seventh-grade science students had the opportunity to explore the diverse plant life on our campus during a nature walk. It was an enriching experience that allowed them to deepen their understanding of the natural world.
Our studio art class has been busy creating beautiful and personalized greeting cards. It’s remarkable to witness the creativity and talent that our students possess.
Lastly, during lunchtime, our students actively engage in activities promoting exploration, learning, and fun during lunchtime. It was wonderful to witness the bonds being formed and the joy that radiates throughout our school community.
Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication to middle school. We value your partnership and look forward to a successful academic year of growth and achievement.
In Partnership,
Courtney Bailey
The Middle School Principal
