MIDDLE MATTERS
Everything in the Middle School that matters
Good Evening Middle School Parents
Today we begin the second half of the school year. Teachers have shared how valuable every minute of in-person learning was the first semester. We tried to clarify expectations, streamline lessons, limit screen time and balance the homework load for middle school students. We also did all we could to provide dynamic and engaging lessons every day.
As we start the second semester in a distance learning format we can look forward to getting back to our hybrid model next week. The opportunity for students and staff to check in with each other face to face during the week has proven to be invaluable. Our full-time distance learners have benefited from the synchronous lessons being taught and following the same schedule as their classmates in the hybrid model. We are getting better!
As we get more information from MDE and plans are made for a transition to full in-person programming we will keep families updated. It continues to be a fluid situation. We are prepared to make any changes needed.
Below is the link to Parent Portal and access to second-quarter report cards. We continue to challenge students to take ownership of their own progress. We are making plans for the 2021-22 school year. We hope to build on all that we have learned during this school year. Students should take that same approach. Take advantage of the opportunities you have in the classroom to better prepare yourself for next year. This message is especially important to our 8th graders who will be registering for the high school next month.
We are very excited for the second half of the school year!
