Middle School Principal’s Letter
Dear Parents,
Thank you for taking the time to read this week’s version of the News and Views. This week, our focus was on MAP testing, and it is lovely to see the smiles on student’s faces after testing.
We want to thank you for supporting your child this past week so that they could perform their best. Once all make-up tests are completed, we will share the final results with you.
We will issue the second-semester progress reports today. Talk with your child about their approaches to learning and grades. The eighth graders must finish their middle school experience on a high note. We want the seventh-graders to realize the stakes will be higher next year. The sixth-graders will be a year older.
The weekend will be very busy for the Middle School. On Friday and Saturday, we are hosting the World Scholars Cup Cairo Round on campus. We will also be hosting the CISSA soccer tournament. On Saturday, we will have the swimming time trials. It will be a full day of campus activities, and we look forward to welcoming you.
We understand that the next few weeks will be short due to various events. If you anticipate your child’s absence from school, please communicate with the office. This is particularly important as the lack of school days in April might result in students missing out on important work. Your timely communication will help us ensure that they stay on track with their studies.
Life Lesson# 3: Own your responsibilities and your future.
You’re not responsible for your trauma, but you are responsible for breaking the cycle and not hurting more people because of what happened to you. You will never control your future if you let your present be controlled by your past. What happened yesterday may not be your responsibility, but how you behave today is.
Thank you for your continuous support of the middle school.
In Partnership,
Courtney Bailey
The Middle School Principal
