Dear Melican Families -

We hope you enjoyed your weekend. It is hard to believe that October begins on Wednesday.

NEW: We will begin sharing our Melican Memos on Fridays at 6:00 p.m. beginning Friday, October 3. We hope this helps families with planning.

After and Before School Activities: We have many offerings at the middle school. Late buses have begun for students who choose to stay after school. Because the buses take all students, these routes are longer than typical bus routes.

Chromebooks: Please remind students to bring charged chromebooks to school each day. Please also encourage them to bring their chargers.

REMINDER: Phones, Smartwatches, Wireless Earbuds: We are using Yondr pouches to store student devices during the day. To assist us in planning, please complete this form if your child(ren) will not be bringing smart watches, phones, wireless earbuds, etc. to school this year
