Library News: Students have checked out over 5,500 books so far this year for their own reading. Way to go SeaHawks! Keep reading!
Spring Book Fair: Our spring book fair begins March 20th and runs through March 24th. Remember, you can set up an eWallet account for your student and preview new books here: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/miltonsomersmiddleschool
Tech Reminder: Students should be shutting down their laptops weekly. Shutting down helps clear their memory and allows them to update.
Updated Proofs Required for 8th Graders
Attention parents of 8th grade students:
CCPS requires students entering 9th grade to provide two (2) current proof of domicile to update their child's record. Your child's schedule will not be finalized for the 2023-2024 school year until your proofs are received. Please see the attached letter regarding this process. Proofs may be uploaded through ParentVue, brought into the counseling office during school hours, or emailed to our guidance secretary, Mrs. Matos, at rmatos@ccboe.com. Proofs must be received no later than April 11, 2023. If you have any questions, you may contact Mrs. Matos or our PPW, Mrs. Jenkins at pkjenkins@ccboe.com.
