Sixth Grade Celebration
In addition to the four local field trips our sixth graders participated in this year, they had a chance to enjoy some fun outdoor games just before the rain started!
Eighth Grade Celebration
We look forward to celebrating the Class of 2030 on Wednesday, May 20, from 10 - 11 a.m. in the Wendell Center. Students are encouraged to wear garden party attire (sundresses, khakis/slacks, and polo or button-down shirts). Family members are invited to attend. Once the ceremony concludes, 8th grade students are dismissed from school for the rest of the day.
Final Exam Schedule (Grades 5-8)
As we prepare for the end of the school year, we want to share the planned schedule for exam week. Since Friday is slated to be a make-up day, students do not report to school on Friday unless they are completing a make-up exam.

Book, Technology, and Uniform Returns – Middle School
As we move toward the close of the school year, all textbooks, library books, and athletic uniforms should be returned before the last project/assessment block on Thursday, May 28.
Technology Returns - All 8th-grade students and students not returning next school year will turn in their iPads with the full case, keyboard, and chargers after their last class meets. Students in grades 5-7 who are returning next year will keep their iPads over the summer. If students need their iPad fixed or looked at over the summer, they are encouraged to leave their iPad with the help desk at this time. We will provide more details to the students before the return date. Report cards and final transcripts will be held if these items are not returned or if accounts are not paid in full.
