Together we make a family!

A new era in MGSD is coming next year and the excitement is high! As we prepare to split the 6th, 7th, & 8th grade students into two schools next year, I want to remind everyone that although the Red Imps & Bears will have a friendly rivalry throughout the coming years, we're ALL part of the MGSD family and all our students will become Blue Devils in the end and be unified as one at Mooresville High. Mr. Dan Miller (Selma Burke principal) and I are very aligned in our expectations for students and how we aim to help them grow and thrive. We can't wait to shepherd in this new era at MMS and SBMS!

Finally, thank you to all the parents out there who supported their Red Imps all year long. Without support from parents and the community, MMS would not be as strong as we are and moving in the positive direction we are. Thank you to all the parents who volunteered their time as Motivators or at PTSO events, helped chaperone dances, attended our sporting events to support the athletes, meet with teachers, pick us sick children, help scholars prepare for tests and get their homework completed, and oh so much more. Parents, we appreciate all the support!!

** Important: also sent home were invitations for students to attend Summer Testing sessions. Those colored paper invites were issued to students within 3 points of passing any of the EOG tests. We highly encourage students to attend these sessions (week of June 5th) to try and earn that passing score. They were so close the first time -- let's show what you know, Red Imps!

PTSO would like to thank all our families, volunteers and staff for all the support this year. We can't do what we do without you. Thank you!

PTSO wishes our current Red Imps the best at MHS, MMS and SBMS next year!

Both MMS PTSO and the new Selma Burke MS are seeking volunteers for next school year. If you want to get involved please email us at redimpsptso@gmail.com and specify which school your student will be attending next year.

Please join our PTSO facebook group. This online community is for parents/guardians of MMS students and MMS staff. We will share information from the PTSO, MMS and MGSD. It is also a place for you to connect with other parents/guardians and the PTSO. We hope you'll join us! Follow us on Facebook!

Thank you for your support! Questions for the PTSO? E-mail us at redimpsptso@gmail.com
