A Message from Mrs. Robinson
It’s ALWAYS a great day to be a Red Imp!
Quarter 2!
We hope that you are following us on social media to keep up with all that is going on at our school. Our students are active throughout MMS and the community, we use our social media accounts to help display their accomplishments.
Right before break students completed benchmark assessments . Every quarter students will complete a benchmark assessment in each of their four core classes (Math, Science, ELA, and Social Studies). Science 7 and Social Studies assessments are created by the teachers at Mooresville Middle School. All Reading, Math, and Science 8 assessments are created by MGSD partner TE21. These assessments are 98% aligned to the NC EOG test. Teachers use student assessment results as a way to plan future remediation lessons and to reflect on successful teaching strategies.
If you are interested in seeing a day in the life of a MMS student please sign up for our next parent tour on January 14, from 8am to 9am. You can reserve your spot by calling the front office. Our Instructional Coach and I will give you a tour of our school and you will have an opportunity to visit classrooms to see what goes on everyday at MMS from 7:30am-2:30pm!
If you ever have any questions or concerns please feel free to give me a call.
Sincerely,
Ayana Robinson, Principal
Mooresville Middle School

Info for Parents from COMMON SENSE MEDIA
You know your kids. We know media and tech.
Together we can build a digital world where our kids can thrive.
Common Sense Media rates movies, TV shows, books, and more so parents can feel good about the entertainment choices they make for their kids. We offer the largest, most trusted library of independent age-based ratings and reviews. Our timely parenting advice supports families as they navigate the challenges and possibilities of raising kids in the digital age. Learn how we rate and review and see our founding editors' 10 Beliefs. Our vision: Families taking charge of their digital choices.
If your family has subscribed to Disney+ then you have probably heard about The Mandalorian.
Parents need to know that The Mandalorian is a TV series set in the @starwars universe. The series' main character (@pascalispunk) is a bounty hunter, so expect lots of conflict and battles, including those in which faceless villains are mowed down by futuristic sci-fi weapons.
We gave it 4 stars and is ok for kids age 10+!
MMS Spirit Rock!
Rent the Spirit Rock for only $10 for a week (Saturday to Friday). Submit the rental form along with your payment to the MMS PTSO. Proceeds support the MMS students and staff.
Canvas Help for MMS Parents
Call the main office - 704-658-2720 - to sign up for the help session.
Please bring your child's student id # and laptop password especially if you have kids at another school and need to add more than one child to your account. Parents should bring your cellphone, if you plan to use it primarily to check the grades, or a laptop if you use one at home.

MMS Assistance Form
At Mooresville Middle School we are fortunate to have many community resources available to provide assistance to families in need. Below is a list of some of the assistance programs we are able to offer at MMS because of generous community support. If you have questions about these programs, please contact a school counselor. Our school counselors are Michael Hamilton-Genson (mhamiltongenson@mgsd.k12.nc.us) and Kathryn Buff (kbuff@mgsd.k12.nc.us).
Several of these programs require additional parent information and/or permission forms to be completed prior to your child being able to receive assistance or participate. If you indicate an interest in one of these areas, more information will be sent home once the programs are ready to begin.
