6th Grade Orientation, Schedule Pick -up and Supply Pick-up - August 21 |
Our 6th grade orientation is August 21 from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. at the Elementary School. Students will remain at the school during this time to pick up schedules, pick up supplies (if you ordered them through PTO), and get acclimated to middle school life. Our 8th grade student Navig8tors will also do some activities and answer any questions your student may have. PICTURE DAY will be on September 7th for 6th grade students.
Our counselors look at each student's history and preferences and devise a schedule for their first day. We have a 7 period course schedule. Our 6th grade Middle School Day is from 7:50 a.m. - 2:35 p.m. Students may begin to arrive at 7:30 a.m. They will report to their 1st period class. If your child is not sure where to go, please assure them that there will be plenty of help to get them there all they need to do is ask.

2022-23 Updated Cell Phone Policy |
Students’ cell phones should not be used or seen at school (including classrooms, hallways, lunch, and recess) during school hours unless the student has received direct permission from a staff member. Smart watches with communication features can be worn, but should not be utilized to send messages, access social media, etc. during the school day. |
|
|
Phones can be carried in pencil pouches, kept in lockers, in backpacks, etc. - but must remain out of sight at all times. Students can use their communication devices before school, after school, in the main office, or if given direct, specific permission by a staff member.
Additionally, for the safety of our students, headphones and earbuds (like “Airpods”) may not be worn during school unless a teacher has given students permission during a learning activity.
Personal communication devices and/or headphones may be collected by a staff member and sent to the front office for safekeeping until students are dismissed at the end of the day. If students use a personal technology device without permission for non-educational reasons (or in a way that does not demonstrate responsible use of technology) students will need to correct that behavior. Repeated non-compliance with teachers’ requests - regarding cell phones and devices but also other reasonable requests related or unrelated to technology - indicates a breakdown in respect and trust and will result in corrective attention.
|
Supplies that were ordered through the PTO will be delivered to your child schedule pick-up this year. School supplies can be picked up at orientation or the first day of school. Please leave the supplies at home until the teacher requests for them to bring in the materials. If you need a copy of the school supply list, please visit our MS website or Click Here.
