Guidelines for attending after school activities
We appreciate your support.
A Few Words from the Principal
- The week of October 10 Red Ribbon Week presentations for parents and students. See the message below "From the Counselors" for more information.
- October 20 is the end of the first quarter. Make sure to finish the quarter strong. Remember if extra support is needed the Timber Wolf Success Program is available every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3:05 - 4:30 in the Media Center. The end of the quarter also brings quarter reward celebrations and we do not want students to miss out because they have work that still needs to be done.
- October 21st and 24 there is NO SCHOOL
- The last week in October ends with our Red Ribbon Spirit week. Look for information about the spirit wear for each day.
- The last week in October will also include a Showcase Night. This is an evening activity that will highlight the learning that is happening at MTMS. More details on Showcase Night will be coming in future weeks.
