Marysville Middle Wildcats | June 2022
Letter from the Principal
Dear Wildcat Families,
The beginning of June signals the end of the school year. It is hard to believe that we are less than a month away from the last day of school. Thank you for a wonderful and productive school year. I cannot express my gratitude enough for all of your support, conversation, visits, donating, participating, collaborating, and doing whatever was necessary to support students both at home and at school. Special thanks to our PTA who went above and beyond to provide opportunities and experiences for our staff and students. At the heart of this year's success is our staff's endless dedication, passion, care, and skill to lead us towards our mission of ensuring that all students grow and learn at high levels academically, socially, and emotionally.
Last and most important, thank you Wildcat students for all of your hard work throughout the year. Together we have overcome much and we have a lot to be proud of. I am so honored to be your principal, and I am proud to be a Wildcat along side each of you. I am grateful for your joy, talent, insight, and heart. Best wishes to our 8th graders as they transition to high school; I will miss you greatly. Thank you to the entire MMS community. You have made my first year here incredible; I am humbled to be a part of such an extraordinary community.
I wish you all a summer full of love, laughter, and learning. I will see you next school year!
Warmly,
Mary Ingraham

Student Chromebooks
All students returning to the Marysville school district will be keeping their chromebooks over the summer and will already have them for next year at the Middle or High School they will be attending. If they are relocating out of district we will be collecting those students' chromebooks at the end of the school year. The district will be sending more notes about this closer to the last day of school and will also give instructions on what/where students can get help with their chromebook over the summer if they need it.
Summer School Information
Attendance Line for Absences
If your student has an appointment during the school day, it will be much easier on you and the student if you let us know as soon as possible. Your student will be given a pass to leave class at the designated time. This can be especially helpful if you need to get your student during lunch time.
