Melican Memo | December 12, 2025

Students connect with Hank.

Dear Melican Families -

Thank you for supporting our music program. Our winter concerts were a huge success this week, and we are proud of our young musicians. Auditions for our school musical take place this week.

We have noticed an uptick in student misbehavior in our bathrooms. Please remind your children to report any irresponsible bathroom use, including vandalism, graffiti, etc. as soon as possible so that we can follow up on it.

We have our first home basketball game this week. Student fans are responsible for going home and then coming back to the school for games because they do not begin until 4:00. We are not able to provide supervision for students between 2:10 (dismissal time) and 4:00. After school clubs and academic support ends at 3:10. We expect our student fans to be positive and respectful, and to follow school rules while at games.

Please reach out with any questions.

Respectfully,

Michelle T. Karb, Principal

Gretchen M. Bean, Assistant Principal

6th Grade Chorus performs on Thursday at Algonquin.
