February 8th - February 12th
Students & Families,
As exciting as the Super Bowl might be, it doesn't pale in comparison to getting our students back in school! We should know this Thursday of Friday if we can start to transition to our Hybrid model of school.
South will join North MS this week on Wednesday evening to host a Virtual Town Hall event at 6:00 p.m. to share important information about students returning to campus. We will share details like the Hybrid schedule, how you tell which days your student comes on campus, and what classes will look like.
For our parents (and students!), please feel free to join us for our February PTSA Meeting this Friday at 2:00 p.m. A link will be sent as well as a calendar invitation. We also have a School Board meeting this Tuesday evening at 5:00 p.m. More information can be found on our district website.
Our "Diversity Matters" focus is well underway, and we are highlighting staff, students, parents, and community members' thoughts on the importance of diversity. Join in here!
Check out our PTSA's fundraiser in helping you get gifts for Valentine's Day. Also check out opportunities for homework help. We have an awesome partnership with Western Oregon University where they can provide our students with Writing and Math help from 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. Monday - Thursday night. Joe's Place also has space for students to come and access the internet while getting a breakfast and lunch. Staff are there for help, and they can also provide transportation. Check it out below!
Lastly, make sure that you sign up to get involved in our athletic seasons! Visit out Athletics website and call or email us with your questions. A virtual parent meeting for flag football will be this week on Tuesday night.
Happy February,
Mr. Sale

Family Character Dare - MIX TAPE
Create a playlist of songs for a family member and send it to them with a note explaining why you chose those songs.
Even if you just find one song online or copy and paste some lyrics that stand out to you, music can be a great way to connect! And, each time they hear that song, they'll think of you (and you of them!).
