A busy night for MCMS sports as Football, Cheer, Volleyball and Softball all had season openers against Bowling Green. More pictures to follow!
MCMS Athletic Competitions kicked off today with Cross Country at the New Haven Invitational. We sent seven athletes to run today and they all ran excellent times for their first ever MS cross country race, and on a long, hilly course at that. Way to go, Wildcats!
Students in Mrs. Durham's PLTW Automation and Robotics classes began learning about mechanisms by building and coding today!
Our Wildcat Warehouse is up and running and our delivery driver is making deliveries! Nice job, Evan!
Mrs Healy’s 6th Grade ELA classes did a gallery walk where they worked their way around the room leaving feedback on one another’s work. Way to be supportive, Wildcats!
Wildcat Families,
The first week was a pretty big success and we are extremely grateful to be able to be a part of your child's educational journey. After the first week, though, it is perhaps necessary to make families aware of our dropoff and pickup expectations. Our ultimate goal is to keep all our kids safe, and traffic flowing so there is not a long line for you to sit through.
Beginning Tuesday, if you are dropping a student off, please be sure you are aware that our doors do not open until 7:30. There is not a staff member on duty to keep your child safe, so please do not drop them off prior to that time. If you choose to arrive before 7:30, please do not stop in the driving lane of our parking lot blocking traffic. Please pull into a parking spot so through traffic can still reach their destination. The dropoff point is in the parking lot in front of the gym. Please see the attached image.
For pickup, please note, we do not have a passing lane. Please do not use the South-bound lane as a lane to pass the line of vehicles waiting to pickup their student. Our students are precious and should be able to cross the parking lot safely. The easiest way I have found to navigate pickup is to back into a parking space in front of the middle school so I can easily maneuver once my child is in the car. Please note, if you are pulling up to pickup your child, you must come to the front of the middle school main entrance near the old flag pole (please see the attached image). Having you pull up to our line of sight is the best way to help us keep all our students safe.
We are incredibly thankful for your help in this!
Thank you,
Mrs. River
Principal
7th and 8th Grade students interested in playing fall sports:
There will be information regarding football, football cheer, volleyball, cross country, and softball at Open House this evening.
If you are unable to attend, but would still like to participate, please note that all teams begin practice on MONDAY, AUGUST 19. In some cases you will not be able to participate in the first contest if you do not have every practice in.
See the image for practice times for Monday, August 19.
7th and 8th Graders who ordered yearbooks and have not yet picked them up may get them at Open House Thursday evening!
Good evening, Wildcat families!
I wanted to take a few moments to remind you of the upcoming Open Houses this week.
SIXTH GRADE FAMILIES, please join us for your Open House on Wednesday, August 14 at 6:00. We will meet first in the Cafeteria as the new gym floor is not quite ready for traffic. After a brief introduction, those who have registered will receive their schedules and will be able to meet their new teachers and access their lockers.
SEVENTH and EIGHTH GRADE FAMILIES, Open House is on Thursday, August 15 from 6:00 to 7:30. Yours will be true Open House style, come visit drop off supplies, and meet your teachers!
ALL FAMILIES, remember there is a technology fee that must be paid before your child can access a Chromebook. Waiting to pay this fee is one of the longest lines we have each year. Save time by paying this fee in advance on our Webstore (mc-wildcats.revtrak.net). If you need to pay the night of Open House, speed the process along by either paying with check or having exact cash. Technology fees are: $25 for one student; $45 for two students; and $60 for three or more students.
You may also wish to put money in your child’s lunch account. The easiest way to do this is via your parent portal on Infinite Campus. This is the website you accessed to register your student for the 2024-2025 school year. You may also download the Infinite Campus app, which is a handy way to keep track of your student’s grades and assignments, add lunch money, and contact teachers via the message service.
If you have your immunization records, the nurse will need a copy. You can bring it with you to Open House.
Please remember, if you have not registered your student, they cannot start school on the first day. If you are registering your student with us during our Open House, you will need an accepted form of proof of residency. This could be a utility bill, pay stub, rental agreement, or mortgage. It must be dated within the last thirty days.
If you have any questions, please call the Office at 573.564.2253.
We look forward to having you in the building this week!
Thank you,
Kista River
Principal
Montgomery County Middle School
