Dear Attea Families,

As our class of 2023 gets set to graduate, I reflect on how this group of students will hold a special place in my heart, being my first year as principal at Attea. With the combined effort from our entire staff, families, and students, we have collaborated to support our students academically, behaviorally, and in their social-emotional growth and encourage exploring their many interests. Our school year is starting to close; I am reflecting on how much I have learned from all our students and staff!

I am sure it is hard to believe for many parents that this upcoming week is the last FULL week of school for all our students. The two following weeks will be four days each. Our eighth graders' last day will be Monday, June 5th, while sixth and seventh graders will end their school year on Thursday, June 8th. We have had and will continue to have high expectations for everyone to show others the utmost care and kindness. I want every child at Attea to feel a sense of accomplishment, pride, and belonging! Encourage your child to BE Safe, BE Respectful, BE Responsible for the remainder of the school year, and finish strong!

Go Flyers!

Mrs. O'Donnell

Principal

Do you still want a 2022-23 Yearbooks? A limited number of Yearbooks are available to purchase through the main office. The cost is $23. Students should bring cash or check written to Attea Middle School to the office. We will continue to accept orders WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. Students who have pre-ordered a Yearbook earlier are guaranteed to receive one and need do nothing further. Distribution of all Yearbooks will happen by grade/team near the end of the year. However, students should purchase now if they have not already done so.

Graduation tickets and a letter of information have been mailed home to the address(es)listed in Powerschool this week. The envelope may take a few days to reach your mailbox.

Graduation for the 8th grade class of 2023 will be on Monday, June 5th, at 7:00 p.m. at Glenbrook South High School’s Auditorium. We are please to announce that based on the size of the class of 2023 each family will receive 5 graduation tickets. Two-household families, as indicated in Powerschool as a student having a primary and secondary address, will receive separate 3-ticket sets. A ticket is not required for the graduate.

No “extra” tickets are available because we have provided families with the maximum number of possible tickets based on the capacity of the GBS auditorium. If you need extra tickets, families and graduates are encouraged to talk with each other and share tickets. There are no assigned seats in the auditorium.

Calling all 6th and 7th grade parents to help chaperone the 8th grade Attea Grad party!!! There is a long standing tradition of 6th and 7th grade parents managing the party for the outgoing class of 8th graders. It's a great opportunity to see what happens, what you would do when it's your turn and what in some cases you would opt NOT to do ;). We are asking for a time commitment of 7:30-11. Volunteers will move around the different stations during the party as needed. If you cannot commit to the entire time slot, please make a note in the comment box or contact Dana Doffin at dana.d.doffin@gmail.com or for Tricia Johnson at tmj1578@gmail.com Thanks!!!
