Mustang Family News for 4/15/22
News for families of Margarita Middle School
From the Principal
Hello Mustang Families!
Thank you for your excellence as we build scholars who will live and work in 2030, 2050, and 2075. Our students are full of hope for the future and the energy to pursue their goals. In April and early May students will demonstrate their learning on CA state testing in math, English Language Arts, and 8th-grade science. The testing schedule is included below.
Previously, I shared tools to help you as you parent your middle schooler. I am reposting them in case you missed them.
- WSJ Report on the Tik Tok practices &
- An article on China limiting access to social media to 40 minutes per day for children under 18.
- Read this new article about the Tik Tok Brain, just published by the Wall Street Journal.
- Join us for Digital Wellness Seminar with nationwide experts from I Can Help at Day Middle School on Wednesday, 4/20/22 @ 530 pm.
In Temecula, we are unfortunately not immune from the dangers and traps of social media and the pandora's box or troubles technology sometimes brings to our children. I hope this information continues to help you strengthen your family. Remember, we are here to partner with you.
Thank you for your help in making the Margarita Family so great!
Sincerely,
Mr. Duane Legg
Principal, MMS

Academics
iReady
- Check your students iReady to see if they met their goal of 45 minutes in reading and math.
Teachers have scheduled time during FLEX and during class to spend time on Math and Reading. However, to reach their required 45 minutes for each subject, they may need to spend additional time on iReady at home.
