📚Library Orientation is happening this week! The middle school library is a bit different. We are discussing library procedures and the difference between juvenile and young adult literature.
Parents, we encourage you to talk with your student(s) about YA books and the expectations you have for them and their book choices.
Your friendly school librarians are thrilled to help your student find excellent reading materials within your family’s parameters!

Today is another day of Workforce Wednesday. Today's Topic: Accountability!



We'll be giving all students the iReady Diagnostic on Tuesday & Wednesday of this week! This test helps us understand where students are currently performing and allows us to set academic goals with students. Please, encourage your students to come prepared and do their best! *Don't forget a charged Chromebook & wired headphones!
Students will work on the assessment in Homeroom, and we'll use an extended schedule to give them more time to complete the test. Students will resume the normal schedule around 9:15 am.


Join us tomorrow night!
