Dragon Announcements!

Dear McMichael Middle School Parents/Guardians,

On behalf of the McMichael staff, it is my pleasure to welcome everyone to a great 2023-2024 school year. We are excited to begin the school year and we can't wait for our classrooms and hallways to be filled with energy and enthusiasm for learning.

It is our mission to help every child feel welcomed, connected, and part of our McMichael family. The McMichael staff will strive to challenge each student to excel in their academic abilities. We believe all students can and must learn at relatively high levels of achievement. We are confident with your support and help; students can master challenging academic material. We are prepared to work collaboratively with colleagues, students, and parents to achieve this shared educational purpose.

We are looking forward to a great school year here in Dragon Nation!

Respectfully,

Gerald Fonzie
