iMiddle will be taking a special trip to see Romeo and Juliet at the Balboa Theatre. Your child should have received a flier with all the information about how to sign up. The cost of the trip is $5.00. Please send your permission slip back asap if your child is interested because we have to pre-order tickets. The first 50 students to return slips will get priority. The trip will take place in April after school.
As a reminder, there is no school on Friday, February 12th and Monday, February 15th to observe the Lincoln and Washington holidays.

School Site Council
School Site Councils (SSC) provide oversight of the academic planning and budgeting process associated with the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) in order to meet the needs of all students. SSCs provide meaningful consultation with the principal to oversee the implementation, monitoring, and revision of the SPSA, including reviewing and analyzing data; consulting with advisory groups; evaluating programs and activities; and allocating the expenditure of funds available to the school through categorical programs.
SSC Meetings will be held the third Monday of every month starting at 4:15 PM in the Library. Please plan on showing up if you want to be involved with the SSC. The next meeting is December 19th at 4:15 in the school Library.
