Rougher Roundup Parent Edition
3 Houses - 1 Rougher Family (October 2020 Edition)
Note from the Principal
Dear Rougher families,
It is a great day to be a Rougher. I am so pleased with what I get to witness each day at MHS. Students and staff are really starting to settle into the routine of school again. We are so proud of our students and their efforts to make adjustments in the new ways of doing school, while tackling many unforeseen challenges. Wearing masks, social distancing and hand sanitizer are part of everyday life for our students. Though we continue to deal with positive cases of Covid-19, the determination of staff to make school as safe and normal as possible is to be applauded.
We are quite pleased at the academic progress inside our classrooms. Teachers are setting high expectations for students, just as they would in any other year. We’ve heard our students comment on how much they appreciate the standards that are being set in class. One student recently told another “If it was easy, we wouldn’t be learning anything.” Such a wise statement from a teenager.
Please help your students prepare for the upcoming Virtual Week that will take place October 12-14. Teachers will be available to assist students during this time of distance learning, though some staff will also be participating in professional development. I am confident that, through practice, we will see improvement in this aspect of school, just as we have seen elsewhere this year.
Thank you for your continued patience and support as MHS strives to create a positive learning environment for all students.
