Dear Middle School Families,

Welcome to May! There are five weeks of school left, and I would like to share several details about activities happening this month. Please carefully review the information in this letter for details appropriate to your children and their grade levels.

Advisor Conferences

Parent Conferences with your children’s advisors will take place on Friday, May 12. That is a non-school day for middle-schoolers, and the conferences will take place online. Advisors will reach out to you directly to schedule a conference for that day only.

Last Week of School & Exams

Each of the last three days of school – Tuesday, May 30, through Thursday, June 1 – are early dismissal days for students with school ending at noon.

Exams for seventh- and eighth-graders will begin on Friday, May 26, and continue through Tuesday, May 31. Makeup exams for absent students may be taken on any of those afternoons and on Friday, June 2.

Closing Ceremony

The Middle School Closing Ceremony will be held on Thursday, June 1, at 10:30 a.m. in the Mackenzie Gymnasium and is attended by all middle-schoolers and faculty. Please click here for details specific to the eighth grade in regards to the ceremony.

Warm Regards,
