Time & Talent, Etc.

Those families that attended last evening's mandatory meeting will receive one hour toward their Time and Talent requirements for this year.  We appreciate your support as we work toward improving the self reliance and self discipline of our young, middle school students.

Also, we are working on ways for your student to share in the responsibility for updating this post and
the forthcoming middle school calendar.  We will be communicating with you regularly via this blog as we work through the details of implementing the plans we formulated at the meeting.

Welcome!

Dear Middle School Parents and Students:

Thank you all for attending the meeting this evening.
In response to parent requests for a site where information about middle school
can be consolidated, I have created this blog.

If you are here, you must have received my email with the link.

Here you will find information about tests and assignments from the various middle school
teachers.  Check in frequently, and be sure to email me with any questions you have or suggestions for
how to make this blog more helpful.
