We continue to be working hard at MMS as we move deeper into May. Please encourage your child to finish strong – summer break is coming! We will be completing our final round of STAR testing for the year. All students will take the Reading and Math assessments this coming week and next. Like our other rounds of STAR testing this year, the information from each assessment helps us understand each student’s individual journey throughout the year as well as helps determine the appropriate level of intervention or enrichment necessary. Please make sure these two dates are on your calendar!
We will have our 8th grade panoramic photo scheduled for May 8 at 11:30 am. Students can pick up a form in the main office if they still need one. Also, our 8th grade Social is May 17 from 6-8 pm. CLICK HERE to purchase tickets.
