Good Evening,
All Marlinton Middle School students received a packet today for a Pampered Chef Party Fundraiser. The party will run October 24th-November 4th. The link for the party is on the paper sent home with your child and will also be posted on the MMS Facebook page. The catalog to see what to purchase is completely online. All proceeds from the fundraiser will be placed in an account to get buses for local/educational field trips.
Also there is a dance on Saturday from 6-8 at MMS. Only MMS students will be allowed and students must be signed in and out. Costumes are allowed but must be school appropriate and no face coverings.

Community Care of WV’s school-based health clinics will be offering flu shots for students and staff during the month of November. If you filled out the flu questionnaire included in the enrollment packet at the beginning of school, Community Care will be contacting you to make sure that you are still interested in your child having a flu shot. If you didn’t fill one out and would like your child to receive this vaccine when we are at their school please give us a call at (304) 799-4404 to schedule.

Tomorrow is Service Personnel Appreciation Day! At this time, I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of our service personnel for the work they do each and every day to make our schools better! The first people most students see each day are the bus drivers, custodians, or cooks. That first contact can make or break a student's day. In Pocahontas County, we are very fortunate that all of our service employees do their best to make our kids feel welcome, safe, and cared for. We thank our bus drivers, cooks, custodians, aides, secretaries, maintenance men, and bus mechanics for making our school system successful. Thank you so much for what you do!
Marlinton Middle School is so thankful for the service personnel that serve the students and community of Pocahontas County. Thank you all for what you do for us all!!!
After school tutoring will be Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. We will be back to Monday and Wednesday next week. Thanks!
Hello Copperheads! I am sending a note of reassurance that we haven't forgotten about adding grades into the LiveGrades system. There are still some technical errors in the system, so we have been patiently waiting. We are hoping that the errors will be resolved early this week so your child's grades will be updated by the end of this week. Sorry for the delay!
If you have any questions, please call MMS at 304-799-6773.
Please stop by MMS to sign your students device loaner agreement if you haven’t done so. We are hoping they will have their one to one devices soon and this must be completed before they can receive them. Thank you!
Great opportunity for students who are interested.
