This past week we have been having discussions with our 7s and 8s about how to make our PM a better break for everyone.
Grade 7s and 8s were asked to vote for the following options about what the PM break would look like for 7s and 8s. These are the results:
127 responses in total

On Monday, June 3, 2019 we will meet with all grade 7 and 8 students at 2:15 PM to discuss the vote and 'new' schedule and expectations. Below is an updated bell schedule. We will change back to a break from 2:15 PM - 2:25 PM. The change will be our kids will get the choice to stay inside (halls only) or go outside. This change will happen on Tuesday, June 4, 2019. Hopefully this new change will ensure everyone has a safe and happy afternoon everyday at MMS.
