The Middle Update 5/29/16

Another busy week is in the books, and another good opportunity for a relaxing weekend is ever so near.  Check below for some information about the upcoming week.

16-17 Budget
The board approved the initial budget requests that I submitted to them on Monday night.  Once I get approval from the district office, I will return requisitions the requisitions for things that need to be ordered.  Teachers will then enter the returned requisitions into Skyward.  When entering into Skyward, it's really important that the year working in is 2016-2017.  I will keep requisitions that were encumbered or ear-marked for certain items.  The money for these purposes will remain in the appropriate account, and we'll use the correct codes when needed next year.

Forward Testing
Our 7th graders finished up testing this week, and we have one more week to go!  6th graders are up starting on Monday with a practice session.

Students of the Month
Congratulations to this month's recipients:

Gwen Golueke     Lianna Mullarkey     Mikayla Fox     Jake Buss     Kirstin Heuer     
Carter Hansen     Olivia Radewan     Matthew Bartz     Kaitlyn Schultz

PMS Honor Board
I need to have a special section in this week's blog to recognize Mrs. Hendrickson's work to take a vision from the Puma Pride Committee, and made it a reality.  Mrs. Hendrickson has worked hard, and put up with more than one round of suggestions from me for modifications or omissions...thank you Mrs. Hendrickson...it looks great, and is pretty cool.

End of Year Celebration at the Barn
Mark your calendars, we will be hosting a district wide end of year celebration at the Barn at Harvest Moon Pond on the late afternoon/evening of Tuesday, May 31st.  More specific details will follow.

Color Run
In your mail box, everyone received some information about our upcoming 1st Annual Color Run.  The Parent's Club is interested in getting as many of our staff members involved to help make this event a big success.  Our students love seeing our staff members outside of the classroom.  Staff members can participate free of charge.  All proceeds from this event will go toward our School Sign Fund (money for an electronic Poynette Schools sign along Hwy 51).
