LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Middle School Families,
�As we move into November, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the wonderful events we experienced in October and to share some exciting upcoming activities and reminders for this month.
**Recap of October Highlights**
Our Spirit Assembly on October 10 was a tremendous success! Seeing our students come together, showcasing their school pride through performances and spirited activities was heartwarming. Thank you to our Student Council for their hard work in planning such a memorable event.
On October 11, we participated in the Great Apple Crunch, promoting healthy eating and local agriculture. It was fantastic to see students across both middle and high schools come together for this synchronized event, symbolizing our commitment to wellness.
Lastly, we successfully held our rescheduled Middle School Picture Day on October 24. Thank you for your understanding regarding the changes. It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces captured in photos!
**Upcoming Events in November**
**Parent-Teacher Conferences - As the first marking period ends, now is the perfect time to schedule a conference with your students’ teachers. Each team is available every day during team time. Please reach out to the teachers to set this up.
�**Thanksgiving Break - November 27-29*
As a reminder, we will have a Thanksgiving break from November 27-29. We hope this time allows families to gather, reflect, and enjoy the holiday season together.
**MS Musical - December 13 and 14*
Looking ahead, we are excited to announce our Middle School Musical on December 13 and 14. Stay tuned for more details. This is always a highlight of the year as our students showcase their musical talents. More information will be sent out as we get closer to the date.
Thank you for your continued support and engagement in our school community. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Wishing you all a wonderful November filled with gratitude and joy!
Warm regards,
Melissa Addy
Middle School Principal

ATTENDANCE POLICY:
1. When a student accumulates ten tardy arrivals or ten absences
(legal or illegal), an attendance notice will be sent home.
2. If the child accumulates additional absences or
tardiness, a conference request will be sent to
the student's home.
3. A meeting will be scheduled with the parent/guardian
and appropriate staff member.
4. When absences from school appear to form a pattern or
become excessive to the point where they interfere
with a child’s ability to learn, the principal will
review the case to determine appropriate
legal attention.
5. We hope we can work together to resolve the situation before
we consider the last option.
