We had our first Middle School Planning Team meeting of the 2026-2027 School Year on 10/14/2026.  Here are the highlights for your reference.  Our next meeting will be held on December 2nd from 5pm to 6pm in Middle School Room 33.  All are welcome to attend!

The Middle School Planning Team brings parents, students, and staff together to share ideas, provide feedback, stay informed about school happenings, and find ways to make the middle school experience even better for our students. 

Our district has adopted five brain-ready strategies to support student engagement and learning. Teachers are being asked to consistently incorporate these practices into their classrooms to create supportive, engaging learning environments and help students be successful.

The New York State Portrait of a Graduate outlines the knowledge, skills, and qualities students should develop to be successful in school, future careers, and life. It focuses on six key attributes: being academically prepared, a creative innovator, a critical thinker, an effective communicator, a global citizen, and reflective and future focused. The goal is to prepare students not only academically, but also to navigate challenges, build relationships, and contribute positively to their communities.

We discussed ways to provide families with more opportunities to be involved in middle school activities, such as field trips, field days, and other school events. We are exploring a consistent volunteer application and process to help make it easier for families to get involved and support our students.
