All 6th & 7th graders interested in Middle School Football next year, there will be a meeting on Tuesday(May 20th) at 8:15am in the gym.
8th graders interested in Cross Country there will be a follow up meeting on MONDAY, MAY 19th at 8:15 in the choir room.
Students, our goal is to have all students caught up and in good academic standing by the last day of school on Wednesday! Thank you to those students who have been doing their best on this! We will begin working lunches for those students who need extra support to catch up on their assignments. Any student who has missing assignments or failing grades on the last day of school will be working with Mrs. Kernes to finish their work.
If you have any questions please see Mrs. Kernes. Thank you!
LOCKER CLEAN OUT- Begins this week. If you have lost or misplaced your lock and cannot find it, you will be responsible for replacing it. The cost of a new lock 
is $10.
Missing a lunch box? Water Bottle? Jacket? Take a look at our lost & found table located in the commons. After Friday, anything not claimed will be sent for donation.
All current 6th and 7th graders - We will not be checking in Chromebooks over the summer. If you have any equipment issues with your Chromebook, please stop by the Middle School Library as soon as possible to get those repairs done prior to the end of the school year. (Any screen cracks, screen detachments, plastic cracks/breaks, etc… need to be fixed ASAP.) This will also make sure you have a usable Chromebook for over the summer. (Remember to take good care of your Chromebook, you will be able to purchase these at a discounted price when you graduate.) If you are planning on leaving the district, please check in your Chromebook prior to leaving.
Since this is a school-issued device, remember that all internet and other device usages will continue to be monitored over the summer and addressed with school administration and parents. Please keep the devices charged over the summer. Letting devices sit with a dead battery will ruin your device.
We encourage you to take out the device protection plan each year! It often pays for itself if one damage occurs. It’s well worth the money.
8th grade students (Or any student leaving the district.) - You will be checking in your Chromebook before the end of the school year on Wednesday, May 21st. We will start turning 8th grade Chromebooks on Monday, May 19th. You will need to have your Chromebook (With stylus) and charger in proper working order and ready for check in on that day. If you have any damages to the Chromebook or charger (Or missing your Stylus.) make sure you get these repaired ASAP by visiting the MS Media Center. Any damages that are not fixed before the 16th will be assessed an additional late damage fee of $10 (in addition to the cost of repairs). Avoid the extra fee by getting your device repaired ASAP!
If you have any fines going into your freshman year from not paying for a damaged Middle School Unit, you will not receive a High School Chromebook until it is resolved. If you are leaving the district, your records will not be released to your new school until fees are paid.
You will be receiving a new device this fall as you start your freshman year. At the end of your senior year, you will be able to purchase the device at a large discount, so make sure you take good care of your Chromebook! We encourage all students to take out the protection plan coverage each year on your Chromebook. All 8th-grade students will not have a school-issued device over the summer. (We will be offering some Chromebooks for sale in the upcoming weeks, so if you want one over the summer, that may be an option for you. Watch the daily bulletin for announcements concerning Chromebook sales.)
