The Middle Update 10/18/18
I hope everyone has enjoyed the past 3 day weekend. I appreciate the excellent contributions from the staff at our staff meeting and everyone's efforts to pull off another solid round of Parent-Teacher Conferences. I am lucky to be your principal.
Resource of the Week
The article this week is a great read. Bullying takes on some different forms in Middle School, and this article does a great job of explaining the realities of peer interactions that our kids experience today, and how we, as a school, can create a safe place for all of our students. Thanks Mrs. Morton for the contribution.

Student of the Month Breakfast
Our next Student of the Month Breakfast is scheduled for Thursday, November 1st at 7:00 am in the IMC. We are excited to recognize 8 of our outstanding students that have stood out for their work and effort in the 1st quarter so far. If you see any of the following students, feel free to congratulate them.

Parent/Teacher Conferences
Thank you for your efforts during conferences over the course of the past 2 Thursday evenings. The solid connections that were established during this time can be vital resources to utilize throughout the rest of the school year.
Field Trips
This past week, we wrapped up at least 1 field trip for each grade in October. We've had some updates to our field trip guidelines. Updates are listed below:
--Chaperones should be recruited early, and all chaperones must be on our Approved Volunteer List. The business office requests that all volunteer/background check forms be submitted at least 2 weeks ahead of time.
-A roster of your students who are riding the bus should be handed to the bus driver. Please only provide the names of the students who are actually on the bus. If there are changes for the ride home, then please adjust the list accordingly.
Referendum Update
In the past 2 weeks, we've had referendum presentations done at the Public Library and the Fire Station. There was also a news story about the referendum that appeared on Channel 15 Thursday morning. You can see that at this LINK. We are a couple of weeks away from the vote. As a reminder, the website is a great resource to find all of the information regarding the process used to determine the referendum questions.
Emergency Planning
Our October drill will be a fire drill, followed by an evacuation. We would do this in case of an actual fire that we would not be able to re-enter the building. The Middle School students would make their way to the AUX Gym, and Elementary students would report to the Kerr Gym. Specific date and time will be sent out early next week.
