Greetings from the MMS Principal
We also encourage every child to participate in at least one club or activity at MMS. They will get the chance to spend non-academic time with MMS faculty, connect positively with our school, and meet new friends. Your HSA newsletter states how to sign up for after school tutoring and clubs sponsored by YouthNet. Upcoming newsletters will also include information about participating in MMS-sponsored clubs Martin Luther King Club and the Science Fair Club!
Best,
Dara Crocker Gronau, MMS Principal

Maplewood Middle School Remind App Code @k92d29
This year, the MMS Principal has added a school-wide "Remind App" as another way to communicate with families. Many of your child's teachers will share Remind class codes for you and your child to stay up to date about class events and assignments. As needed, the MMS Principal will periodically use the Remind App to share important info with our school community. Our Maplewood Middle School school-wide code Remind code is listed above (@k92d29). The link below explains how to begin getting notifications. It's a simple way to stay in touch. Join us!
