Dear Melican Families -
We hope you enjoyed your weekend.
We had our first fire drill of the year last week and our students were terrific. They were quiet while they exited the building, while we took attendance for each section, and while we waited to account for all students and staff.
Our first PTO meeting of the year will be this Friday, September 12, at noon. Everyone is welcome to attend.
After and Before School Activities: We have many offerings at the middle school. These activities will commence in September. You will be notified when we have a list of clubs and activities.
Chromebooks: Please remind students to bring charged chromebooks to school each day. Please also encourage them to bring their chargers.
Handbook: Ms. Bean will be reviewing the Student Handbook with all classes over the next two weeks.
Late Buses: Late buses begin running this week. They run Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday each week. Usually, after school activities end at 3:10 and late buses arrive between 3:30 and 3:45. Because there are only one or two late buses, the estimated time that students return home varies, depending on how many students take the late buses.
Phones, Smartwatches, Wireless Earbuds: Students may not use their phones, smart watches and wireless earbuds from the time they enter the building until dismissal (2:10 p.m.). If a student needs to contact home, he/she/they may come to the Main Office or the Health Office. We will continue implementing the Yondr Pouch Program to promote a personal device free learning environment for our students to support their academic, social, and emotional growth and development. All personal devices are locked in pouches for the school day, and students keep the pouches with them. In cases of emergency, the pouches can be cut open.
If your child(ren) will not be bringing smart watches, phones, wireless earbuds, etc. to school this year, please complete this form.
Respectfully,
Michelle T. Karb, Principal
Gretchen M. Bean, Assistant Principal
