School Is in Full Swing

With our first full week under our belt, the Middle School is in full swing. We are excited for our upcoming trips on Monday, September 23. These should be some wonderful team building opportunities for students and teachers. Please be sure and review all of the field trip information prior to departure on Monday.  

This is also a great time to help students develop good homework and study routines. Students should remember to always check mySTEDS during study hall at the end of the day. Study hall is also a great time to complete assignments or get assistance. At home, it is best for students to have a consistent routine for study. We encourage students to put phones away, find a consistent place to work, and set a schedule with planned breaks. Breaking study time up into chunks and getting family members or friends to help with quizzing or reviewing assignments is a great way to help reinforce learning.

Please note for your planning that Wednesday, October 9, is a half day for students. School will end at noon. I wish you all a wonderful end of September, and encourage you to come watch one of our many MS athletic contests and cheer on our incredible Middle School Pirate Athletes!
