August 24, 2021
From the Principal
M.M.S. Parents and Guardians,
Greetings! On behalf of the Mechanicsburg Middle School family, I would like to officially welcome you to the 2021/2022 school year. The office staff and teachers have been working diligently to plan for the most positive start to the school year. Monday, August 30, 2021, marks the first day back to school for students for all M.M.S. students. Please be reminded that the middle school day for students is from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Students will be permitted to enter the building at 8:10 a.m. each morning.
If you have not already done so, please consider talking to your child about his/her academic and social goals they wish to pursue this school year. Never underestimate the power in these conversations for your son/daughter as you remain the most influential people in their lives.
Thank you for your support as we continue to create the most safe physical, emotional and social environment we can for every student while also striving for educational excellence. We will continue to communicate information through a variety of means to reach as many families and students as possible (i.e. Sapphire emails/texts, Website, Twitter: @MMS_principals). Please be sure you have updated your contact information in Sapphire to ensure you are receiving important information we will be sharing along with being able to reach you throughout the school year. Effective communication between home and school is a critical component to the educational process. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school via email or phone at (717) 691-4560.
Thank you for your continued support and for being a partner in education. I am looking forward to a terrific 2021/2022 school year.
Joel Yohn, M.M.S. Principal
