Hello Twin Bluff Middle School families!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful spring break and that you were able to enjoy some quality time together doing something that you enjoy. I find it hard to believe we are entering the month of April already. The snow is melting, mud is everywhere, and we only have two months of school left together for this year.

April is always a busy time of year as we kick off the 4th quarter and the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA’s) at Twin Bluff Middle School. We start the assessment on April 18th and test all students in reading (April 18-21st) and mathematics (April 25-28th). Grade 5 students also get assessed on science (May 1-2nd). As a parent/guardian, we ask you to ensure your student gets a good night's rest and a healthy breakfast. We will also be providing our normal “grab and go” breakfast to ensure all students have a full tummy prior to starting the assessments.

Kick-off the Spring Bus Stop and Walk Event

Starting Friday, April 14th

We’re excited the Bus Stop and Walk event is being kicked off again Friday, April 14th, and will continue every Friday until the end of the school year (weather permitting). The Bus Stop and Walk (BSW) program takes Safe Routes to School to another level by ensuring that every student is provided the opportunity to be active before school. During this event, students will be dropped off at the far end of the bus lot where they will be met by a staff member and other volunteers, who will encourage them to walk a lap around the track and then lead them into the school on a designated path. This allows students the opportunity to walk to improve physical and mental health and increase academic performance. We look forward to seeing you all there!

Thank you for supporting our students every day, we appreciate all that you do!

Mr. Beierman

It is Spring, but it is Minnesota....so that means winter gear or at least warm jackets may be needed until late April! Please be mindful that the 5th graders have recess, so they should always have their coats, hats and gloves with them. They will be outside if the temperature (including the wind chill) is zero or above.

Family Fare grocery receipts can still be dropped off in the office. We put them with all the other building's receipts to receive a donation to the district when we reach a certain level.
