Today, Math teachers will pass out an informational letter about a research study that is taking place with our math classes. Our classes have been asked to participate in a study lead by WestEd and the American Institutes of Research who are interested in learning more about what middle school students think about math. We are providing this letter to parents and guardians to explain this study and provide them with an opportunity to opt their child out of taking the survey. If you are choosing to opt out of this survey please return the letter before April 29, 2024. Thank you.
Please send your eclipse glasses back to school and we will ship them to Latin America for children to view the October eclipse. Thank you!
Please see Ms. Hill upon returning to MMS on Monday.

Hello,
We hope that you will take some time to look over the three options that your calendar committee created this year. This committee included Faculty Senate and Local School Improvement Chairs, instructional coaches, and directors. The group consisted of parents as well as staff of the school system.
Voting for the calendar will conclude at 4 pm on Wednesday, April 10 for the selected calendar to be included on the April 16 Board agenda.
Thank you for your time and support of Pocahontas County Schools.
Just a couple of updates for the upcoming week...CONGRATULATIONS to our teacher of the year, Erin Murphy and our service personnel of the year, Felicia Smith. Also, donuts and money are due Monday, spring photos are Tuesday and there will be no school on Friday for students.
We want to give a HUGE, heartfelt thank you to all the students, parents, and families who took time out of their evening to join us for the Family Literature Night. We were so pleased as we had close to 30 students stop by this evening and around 60 people all together!
We were so happy to watch our students talk to their families and bond over reading. There is a joy in watching students be proud of what they are doing in school. Each student who attended was able to leave with a book tonight for their own library at home.
Families, be on the lookout for the books which will move from the final four to the last TWO books in our bracket.
