Note from the Principal
Dear Memorial Families and Students,
It is a privilege, on behalf of the Memorial Middle School Staff, to welcome you to the 21-22 school year! The start of a school year brings great anticipation and energy for all involved: for students, parents, teachers, and staff. We are committed to partnering with you in providing students with the highest quality educational opportunities, all while focusing on individual student growth.
A special welcome to our sixth graders coming to Memorial Middle School! The sixth graders are invited to participate in our Memorial “Where Everybody Belongs” (WEB) Orientation on Tuesday, August 10th, last name A-K 9:00 to 11:30 and last name L-Z 1:00 to 3:30. WEB is a middle school orientation and transition program that welcomes sixth graders and helps them feel comfortable throughout the first year of their middle school experience.
The first day of school is Thursday, August 26th. Prior to the first day of school, all families and students are invited to attend our Memorial Mustang Roundup on Monday, August 23rd, an open house for all students and parents. During your time at the Mustang Roundup, you will receive your child’s schedule, get their locker assignment, and meet with teachers. You will also have your child’s school picture taken, receive busing information, place money in lunch accounts for Ala Carte items (all students will receive free breakfast and lunch again this year), and purchase a yearbook. A detailed schedule for the Mustang Roundup can be found below in this newsletter.
Prior to attending the August 23rd Memorial Mustang Roundup, parents are encouraged to complete the Sioux Falls School District Annual Online Student Registration for each of your children. You will save a great deal of time if the annual online registration is completed before your visit on August 23rd. You will find directions in this newsletter on how to access the annual online registration.
As we enter into this new school year, I invite you to actively participate in your child’s middle school years. The middle school years are a time of incredible academic and developmental growth. I look forward to seeing all of you on August 23rd.
Sincerely,
Nancy C. Hagen,
Principal
