MRMS Families,
As we enter into this week of school, I want us to take a moment to consider the strong partnership between our MRMS families and school staff that is so integral to MRMS being the best school ever. This week is an important one. With progress notes being posted and conferences on Tuesday and Thursday, we will are being called upon to work together on behalf of the growth and future of our MRMS students. Students begin to recognize a shift in their experience at school. The excitement of the new year has turned into a new type of normal and classrooms gear up on academics to push students to new academic potential. Each student may respond to the shift in the school year differently, but regardless, we can come together as the adult support network, to show students the path to academic and personal growth, and to hold them accountable to achieving at high levels. This being said, please continue to communicate with us to make sure all of our students' needs are met. I know that teachers are looking forward to virtual conferences and I thank you for all of the work you do for our students.
In partnership,
Adam O'Shea. Principal Monomoy Middle School
