iMiddle news for the week of 9/15 - 9/19
Announcements
* There is another minimum day scheduled for 9/16/14 due to the heat*
Message from the Principal: I can not believe it is the third week of school! By now most of the students have settled in and are meeting new friends. Most of the students have already been checking their grades online. Do you know your child's Pin and Password yet? You may want to ask them to share this with you so you can take a look at grades. If you are new to 7th grade or new to 8th grade at iMiddle, you will receive you own PIN and Password at the Tech Boot Camp. You can also use your child's numbers to log in to Parent Portal to check grades.
We are getting the Netbooks and iPads ready for deployment. The forms that were handed out at tech night and the forms that are handed out to 8th graders must be turned in to iMiddle in order for your child to receive a school device. The forms should be turned in to your child's History teacher.
iMiddle needs at least two parents to represent the School Site Council (SSC). Nominations are now being taken. Please fill out the online form by Friday, 9/19, in order to be considered for the SSC at iMiddle. More information is on iMiddle.org.

If you are interested in getting together with other parents to support the iMiddle students, we will be holding our first meeting on Back to School night- 9/24- at 6:30 PM (or following classroom visits) to determine how we can enrich the lives of our students. The meeting will be in the school Library. I encourage you to stay involved during your child's Middle School years.

We will discuss opportunities at the meeting on 9/24. iMiddle looks forward to partnering with you!
