January 11, 2021 - MRMS Parent Newsletter 7
MRMS Families,
I hope this newsletter finds everyone well. At the end of every Advisory class at MRMS, students close with a reminder that "we are all in this together". While in any year we seek to build a strong culture of community connectedness, in this school year this is perhaps more important than any. Students, staff, and families, we are truly all in this together. Last week, as we had our first in person cohort pivot to distance learning, we saw evidence of the strength of our community. Thank you to all the students, families, and staff who pulled together to pick up materials, alter in person lessons to become virtual, and for showing up online to continue the academics that are so important at this age. As I hear stories from other parts of the country, and even across the state of what learning looks like for students this year, I am so pleased in what we have built here at Monomoy Middle School, and so proud of all our distance and in person learners, and so grateful for the families that make it possible with all of your support.
"Individually, we are one drop, together we are an ocean." -Ryƫnosuke Akutagawa
Thank you!
In partnership,
Adam O'Shea. Principal Monomoy Middle School
Announcements
Return to In-person Learning: Please click on the link for information about returning to learning for all in-person learners from Mr. O'Shea. We will return to in-person learning tomorrow January 12th for all students that are in the in-person model.
From our Health Office: Just a reminder that as we return to in-person learning school safety begins at home. We have an increase in COVID cases and it is important that students are reminded to wear a mask that appropriately covers the nose and mouth and that students are practicing social distancing (maintaining 6 foot minimums). Please talk to your child as we will reiterate the expectations upon arrival. These simple steps have proven to help keep us safe at school, and drastically limit the spread of COVID.
Coin Drive: Our student initiated Coin Drive collected $112.68. This money will be turned into gift cards and provided to local families in need. Thank you for your contributions!
Intramural Basketball: We will begin 3 vs 3 basketball by homeroom starting January 19th. This will be available either before/after school. Stay tuned for additional information from Mr. Michael Schaffer later this week.
