Dear Middle School Parents,
Here is another great article about raising kids: The Key To Raising a Happy Child. It talks about giving children “agency” and “To be self-driven, kids need to have a sense of control over their lives and are energetic about directing their lives in the direction they want to go.” It is well worth a read.
Speaking of directing their lives, students at Cabaret certainly took control of their interest and passion and put on an incredible performance last Friday. If you missed Cabaret, here is your opportunity to see it.
REMINDER: Hello Class of 2022! Grade 8 students!
It is that time of year when we start looking ahead to the 2018-2019 school year and need to gather registration information. Please note the following information sessions and timeline. We are excited to get to know your students as they move into the high school!
On Monday, March 5th, we will have information sessions for parents regarding 9th grade registration. We will hold two sessions for parents in the hope that all will be able to attend. The meetings will take place at 8:30 am and at 6:00 pm in the Hall of Light.
Also, on the same day, we will meet with all 8th grade students during their Advisory period to discuss registration information. We will distribute registration forms and students will then select courses and gather teacher and parent signatures, returning them to the Middle School office no later than Friday, March 16th.
If questions about registration arise, please feel free to reach out to one of the high school counselors for clarification and support.

We look forward to welcoming your student into the high school in the fall!

Ms. McGlamery & Mr. Laposky

STEAM Fest
Our Middle School STEAM festival will take place on Thursday, March 15! All are welcome to attend to come and see our creative design solutions. Our focus this year is on the inquiry process itself, highlighting the importance of several aspects such as developing intriguing questions, using thoughtful planning, and building and refining our design ideas. Students choose their presentation projects from Science, Art, Design Technology, Theater, and Math classes.
The festival is a celebration of student design, creativity, and problem-solving!
Attendees can come to see models, watch presentations, and ask questions to learn more about the projects of our Middle School Engineers.
Date: March 15
Time: 1:00- 3:00
Locations: Soccer field, covered gym, Unity courtyard, BBT
Guests will be provided with a map, a list of participants, a schedule of events, and a set of feedback prompts for presenters. In the meantime, be sure to ask your son or daughter to tell you all about their project!
Have a good weekend.
Sincerely,
Alan Phan & Andrew Ranson
