6th grade students enjoyed "untangling" themselves as part of an exercise in teamwork, communication, problem solving, and geometric equations. They had fun in the sun! |

Prinicipal's Message: Julie Do, MS Principal Hello Parents and Students, We are well underway with our plans for this year's MS Impact Term (I-Term). The dates of this year's session as mentioned in last week's weekly newsletter will run on Thursday - May 26, Friday - May 27 and Tuesday - May 31. The MS I-Term does not run over the holiday weekend. Our apologies if there was any confusion caused by how it was listed last week. Students will soon have the opportunity to do a preview of the courses we are hoping to offer this year as this will assist us in our planning process. A brochure with session information will accompany the final sign up form that will go home to families to make selections in the coming weeks. Students will be able to sign up for 3 different sessions or a 2-day session and a 1-day session. Students interested in creating an individual impact learning experience may do so by scheduling a time to meet with me to discuss further. As a reminder to everyone this is a non-graded, participation highly encouraged, learning opportunity for all grades in Middle School. Sessions will be facilitated by our Middle School faculty/staff with the assistance of outside vendors for various learning experiences. In the interim, should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the MS Office for assistance. |
