We're geared up and excited for the first week of the 2023-2024 school year! Each year our school chooses a theme to guide our collective work. This year’s theme is a variation of a Michael Jordan quote ‘Some people want it to happen, some people wish it would happen, Scouts make it happen.’ Together we are going to make it happen this year.
What is it? It is student learning. It is quality relationships with friends, teachers, families, bus drivers, paraeducators, and everyone else that is part of our school community. It is becoming better artists, musicians, siblings, friends, and Scouts. It is building and sustaining a culture of respect and belonging. It is a lot of work. In support of this work we make this commitment to you, every adult in our school will do everything they can to help your student succeed academically, physically, and socially. We ask that you commit to emphasizing the importance of school to your student. Every day, every class, and every assignment are important. Thank you for being engaged and supporting our school community. Together we will make it happen.
The first day for students is Thursday, August 24th. The first day is a half day for students. School begins at 8:00 and students are dismissed at 11:23. Friday is a full day beginning at 8:00 and ending at 3:05. You can find our bell schedules, odd-even calendar, the supply list, and much more on our website.
If you have not done so already, please complete your student’s online registration. This has to be done through PowerSchool every school year. If you need assistance, please call the middle school office at 721-4430 or stop by. Students will receive their Chromebooks on Tuesday, August 29th. If a student’s online registration is not complete, they will not receive their Chromebooks.
Picture day is also on August 29th. All students will have their picture taken. If you would like to order pictures, please go to mylifetouch.com. Our picture day ID is EVTS64QF7. Remember the yearbook is forever so be ready for picture day.
Please make sure your student’s vaccinations are up to date or you have an exemption on file with the state. Also, remember students cannot carry prescription or over the counter medication, such as Tylenol or Advil, with them at school. If students need medication during the school day, please drop it off in the original container with our school Nurse, Mrs. O’Brien, and fill out the appropriate paperwork.
Sixth grade students received their schedules today at 6th grade orientation. Sixth graders who were not able to attend orientation will receive their schedules in the mail. Seventh and eighth grade students will also receive their schedules in the mail. Our school will be open for self-guided tours on Wednesday, August 23rd from 3:00-5:00 if students want to come in and find their lockers and classrooms. Teachers and office staff will not be available at this time. You can meet your student’s teacher at back to school night on August 29th.
Make it a great weekend and a restful end to summer break. We have three jam-packed days of professional development on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday where teachers and staff are working hard in preparation for our students and the launch of this school season. We can’t wait to see everyone on Thursday!
