Just a reminder that MMS will be on regular schedule for the remainder of the week. Our last minimum day will be the last day of school - Thursday, June 6.
Just a reminder...children entering 7th grade next year are required to be up to date on vaccinations. It is recommended to schedule your student's doctors visit as soon as possible to avoid the back-to-school rush that many doctors' offices experience in August. If you have any questions, please call us at (530) 233-7201 x 301 or Modoc County Public Health at (530) 233-6311.
MMS Will be holding its annual "Open House" on Wednesday, May 15 from 5 - 6pm. Come celebrate your students' hard work and dedication this year. See you then!
8th Grade Families,
Our MMS 8th grade promotion ceremony will be held on Thursday, June 6, 2024, at 7pm at the MHS Griswold Gym. A letter regarding end of year events will be out next week. Stay tuned!
As our weather begins to improve and warm up, I just wanted to remind everyone regarding students wearing shorts. The board approved MMS dress code states that shorts must be "mid-thigh" in length or longer. However, our staff will use some discretion in interpreting this rule with our female students as current styles tend to run to the short side and it can be difficult to find longer fitting shorts. Rips in pants/shorts/skirts must also follow the mid-thigh rule. Students whose shorts are excessively short will be asked to call home for an alternate outfit. These rules are in place to prepare students for expectations of proper dress in the workforce, so thank you for helping us in this effort. As always, please call if you have any questions.
Spring Picture Day is April 16th. (Only students who have returned order forms will have their photo taken - extra forms are available in the office.)
Good afternoon MMS Families, Starting April 22 our students will be beginning state testing. This is an important opportunity for them to show all that they have learned so far this year and for all of us to see where your child might need more support. Of course, we would like everyone to put their best foot forward. Having a nutritious breakfast and getting enough sleep are important ways you can support your student in this undertaking. Also, it would help us a great deal if you could have conversations with your students' at home on the importance of these tests and showing what they know. Thank you for your support in this and as always, please call if you have any questions.
MMS St. Patrick's Dance is tonight from 6-8pm. Entry fee is $ 5 ($ 4 if you are wearing green). For MMS students only, eligibility rules apply. See you then!
