Middle School Moments
August 20, 2019
From the Desk of Mrs. McCoy
It has been good to see you all in carline and I appreciate your patience as everyone finds their way in line as we safely get students in and out of cars.
At the beginning of every school year there are some uniform issues with students waiting on pieces of clothing from our vendors. It seems that most of the issues have been solved, but let me know if you are having problems.
As we discussed in our parent meetings and with the students, we have purchased leggings for our girls who have skorts that are too short. Beginning this week, they will be asked to put them on and will be charged $12 to pay for them. Should a pattern develop with short skorts, girls will lose their privilege to wear a skort. Thank you for your positive feedback on this and for helping us.
Camp Vesper Point is coming for each grade. This is a time of fun and fellowship between students and their teachers. Below are the dates and some information that you might need:
6th grade - Sept. 6
7th grade - Aug. 29
8th grade - Aug. 30
7th & 8th Grade Parent Meeting on Tuesday, August 20th
If you are a new family and came to the New Family Parent Meeting on Friday, August 9th, you are welcome to attend but it's not required.
If you have an elementary student in grades 3-5, I ask that you divide and conquer with one of you attending each meeting. If that is not possible, feel free to attend one of them. We understand the conflict and will work hard to have these meetings on different nights next year.
Tuesday, August 20th at 6:30pm in the Chapel. Doors will be open at 6:00pm.
If you cannot attend this meeting, please fill out this "Missed Meeting Form."
