Dear Middle School Families,

October 29, 2026

Dear Middle School Families,

Thank you for attending our fall conferences last week. The opportunity to discuss your children and their progress is something we greatly value and hope cultivates a necessary partnership with you. Please feel free to contact me or any member of the middle school team to offer your feedback about the conferences. We would appreciate any thoughts you have for us to consider.

Tomorrow, students will be able to wear a costume to school. Costumes should not be cumbersome or interfere with the classroom environment, keeping in mind that students will have recess and PE, so any restrictive clothing should be removable to allow for typical participation. Costumes should be respectful, and students wearing inappropriate attire will be asked to change. Short shorts/skirts/dresses are not permitted unless leggings are worn underneath. As always, candy should remain at home. We are looking forward to a fun day!
