The holiday season is an exciting, busy, and can even be a stressful time of the year for all.\u00a0 It is a great opportunity to reflect on not only what we are all thankful for but also reflect on the calendar year.\u00a0 The Middle School is thankful for the support the community and parents have shown for both our students and staff over the past year.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

The \u2018Middle School\u2019 years of our children include a lot of change, but also provide many opportunities for growth.\u00a0 We hope you are able to reflect on the positive over the last year and take time to appreciate the growth that your children have made during the last year including academic, behavioral, social and emotional.\u00a0 From our staff at the Middle School we wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season!\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Our last safety drill involved relocating to the Elementary School.\u00a0 An example of when this might be needed could be an actual fire, electrical outage, or water break during the school day.\u00a0 The staff and students successfully transitioned to the Elementary School, took attendance, and transitioned back to the Middle School with minimal loss of learning time.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
