Mr. Posick's weekly email
August 16, 2019
It's almost time!
Next week, our staff is returning to prepare for the upcoming school year. It's the unofficial end of the summer for our staff, but we have the chance to reconnect with one another and to learn together. Next week Tuesday is also the first day for online registration. You'll be getting a separate email about the process for online registration, but don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions.
Open House is Wednesday, August 28th
Open House is Wednesday, August 28th from 5:00-7:00PM. Students and families are invited to attend. There will be an opportunity to meet teachers, organize cubbies (5th grade) or lockers (6th-8th grade), get your child's picture taken, reconnect and connect with Merton friends, and even have a chance to get food from a few food trucks. We hope to see you there!

Building Confidence and Character in Middle Schoolers
I have been fortunate to learn a lot this summer from and with educators from all over the country. One thing that comes up a lot in these discussions is what it's like to work with middle school students. Some of you might be wondering about this as well. Here is an article that I found that may provide you with some suggestions.

Our custodial crew is amazing!
As you might have noticed, there are no students in these pictures. The pictures give you a look at our school. It looks brand new even though, if I'm not mistaken, the youngest part of our school was built in the 1970s. The reason our school looks so new is because of the care and dedication of our entire custodial staff. Words cannot express how much I appreciate all that they do to make our school look so amazing. If you see one of our custodians at Open House or during any of your visits to our school, please thank them for a job well done!
