Middle School South News....

Message from Mrs. Hanna...
Welcome to Middle School South! The middle years are a time for growth, challenge, and discovery. At Cabot Middle School South, we encourage and prepare students to participate fully, take risks, and to create lasting memories and relationships with peers, faculty, and staff. I am proud to be working with Assistant Principals Amy Morrow and Hannah Sullivan, at such an exciting and dynamic school and to work in the unique and beautiful town of Cabot.
Our goal at Middle School South is to become R.E.A.L Panthers (Respect, Explore, Achieve and Lead) in conjunction with a challenging curriculum that will prepare students for success. We believe that students, parents, and teachers all play a vital role in helping students reach their greatest potential. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the many resources and opportunities available to them including Space Camp, Rockin' at the Hop, clubs, and Frontier Days.
The foundation of our students' success is based on the partnership among students, faculty, staff and parents. Active parent participation is essential to our success. Please contact any member of your child's team or our dedicated PTO parents for information on how you can support Middle School South.
I look forward to working with you and your children during the 2018-2019 school year. Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time. Middle School South's success is dependent on your feedback.
If you have another email you would like for me to use or you would like to be removed from the Middle School South News...please email casey.hanna@cps.k12.ar.us.
Educationally Yours,
Casey Hanna
Principal, Cabot Middle School South
