September 2020Welcome, sixth graders, to a very different school year. Not only are you new to our middle school, but you are starting out the school year with a combination of coming to the school and working from home. While this might seem overwhelming at first for everyone, I am sure that in the weeks to come, we will all feel more at ease as we get to know one other. Looking forward to meeting everyone!
