M.M.S. News & Notes
February 4, 2022
From the Principal
M.M.S. Parents and Guardians,
Happy Friday! The 3rd marking period is underway and time continues to pass quickly at MMS. Mrs. Ziegler and I recently met with each of the 8th grade academic teams. The focus of the discussion was to reflect upon the 1st semester and also remind each student there were only 4 months of school left before they begin their journey in the high school. In speaking with several students this week, I do believe the message resonated with them and hopeful they will take advantage of every opportunity academically, socially and emotionally to be prepared for the first day at MASH.
As always, I appreciate you taking a few minutes to read this week's News and Notes. I have included Dr. Leidy's information regarding our updated Health and Safety plan which will go into effect beginning February 14. We do plan to communicate more information to everyone as the details are being worked out. I hope you each have a great weekend and stay safe.
Joel Yohn, Principal
