Dear Middle School Families,

We had our MS Meeting today since we have Parent/Guardian-Teacher Conferences on the next few Fridays. You can look forward to the recap coming to your inbox on Tuesdays for the next few weeks!

Here is a recap of today’s MS Meeting. You can check out the slides from today's meeting here.

This Thursday we have created special programming for students so teachers have time to prepare for Parent/Guardian-Teacher Conferences. As a Middle School division, we will be watching The Social Dilemma and leading discussions and activities for all students to process the film. Students will also have supervised work time to complete assignments. 6th graders will take part in the Sphere of Influence workshop (the 7th and 8th graders did this last week). We will have M-block and Afternoon Activities as usual.

Spring Afternoon Activities begin on Monday! Coach Kuntz is waiting for some students to sign up.

Student COVID testing starts next week. All students on campus will be tested every other week. Ms. Smith spoke to the Middle School about the process—all faculty and staff have been tested on-campus since November, so we can answer the students' questions about the testing process. Additional details can be found in the email sent this afternoon.

Friday is the first of three Fridays when we have Parent/Guardian-Teacher Conferences. Students are encouraged to attend their conferences. There are no MS classes these days.

Here are some student meetings and programming happening on Friday:

Henry Diver '26 recommends The Ickabog by J.K. Rowling.

A quick reminder for 8th grade parents/guardians: If you haven't already, please RSVP to tomorrow's event about the Beaver Upper School.
