We know several middle school students are looking forward to Halloween and want to dress up on Monday. We will allow our students to wear school appropriate costumes. We will not allow any costume that promotes violence or hate crimes. We will not allow weapons, and masks will not be able to be worn throughout the day.
Report Cards
Today marks the end of quarter one. Student report cards will be available in Parent Connect on November 7, 2022. If you have questions about a grade, please reach out to your child’s teacher.
School-Wide Expectations
We now have a full quarter of school behind us. We need your support in reminding students of our expectations. Please focus on the following:
Students are expected to treat others (students and adults) with respect
Inappropriate language is not acceptable in the school environment
Students need to WALK to class – if your child is running recklessly in the halls after redirection, you will be asked to come and spend the day with him or her in the building to ensure they get from class to class without bumping into others in the hall and causing unnecessary chaos – reckless hallway behavior may result in a suspension
There is no reason students should not have enough time get to class as it begins – students have time to go to their locker, use the bathroom if necessary, and still walk to class in plenty of time – there is no reason students should have more than a tardy or two ever in a week
Students need to keep their hands off of each other – horseplay is unacceptable
If your child can not follow our expectations, there will be consequences, in addition to a parent meeting with your child, teachers and administration. We will not tolerate the disruption of learning in the building. Thank you for your support with this.

Family Matters Parent Event
Family Matters Parent Event Western Wayne County Suicide Prevention Coalition has arranged three Family Matters presentations for parents. Keynote speaker Matt Emerzian will share his story. Our families are essential to the growth and well-being of our youth. When we create strong connections and sustain relationships within our families, our youth thrive– emotionally, socially, and academically.
Each presentation is free, and they will be identical. Please note: These mental health presentations are unsuitable for children (babies are fine), and registration is necessary. The event on 11/10 will be held at JGHS. Each presentation is free, and they will be identical. The presentations are spaced throughout our area in Western Wayne County to provide parents with options to best meet their schedules.
8th Grade Washington D.C. Trip
We are excited to announce that we will be taking our 8th grade students to Gettysburg and Washington D.C. with Stevenson and Franklin Middle School.
We have three buses reserved. The trip will be first come, first served. Once we fill one bus, students will be waitlisted to ensure we can fill a second bus. The waitlisted student’s trip will be confirmed once bus two fills. The same process will be in place for bus three. If we can not fill bus two or three, those waitlisted will be refunded. This is why it is very important to reserve your spot as soon as possible. You can do that here.
Please be on the look-out for more fundraising to come soon!

Athletic Events
We love the support our students have shown this year at our home athletic events. If your child is attending an event, please remind him our her of the following.
Students are not permitted to hang out in the building or on school property while waiting for the athletic contest to begin. Doors do not open for the game until 15 minutes prior to the start time, which in most cases is a full hour after school dismisses.
Students are expected to follow all school expectations during the event.
If students leave during the event, they are not permitted back into the building.
If your child is not in school the day of the event, they are not permitted at the game.
Your child will need to be picked up promptly at the end of the game or leave as permitted to walk home.
