From the Principal’s Desk

 

It’s back!  We’re getting ready to kick-off our 3rd annual, “Where in the World is Mayfield Woods Middle School?” summer photo contest!  This contest is open to next year’s students, including our new rising 6th graders (Sorry 8th graders - we’ll miss you!). Did I mention that all students who enter the contest get to come to an ice cream party in the fall?!   Click here for a flyer and more information – we hope you’ll join us in the fun!  #MayfieldWorld2018

Our first annual 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony will be held on Thursday morning, June 7, at Long Reach High School. Click here and visit often for updates about this exciting event! 

 

Is your child enrolled in algebra, geometry, French or Spanish?  If so, be sure to click here to read information about receiving credit for high school courses taken in middle school.

 

Is your child a rising 7th grader?  If so, click here to read about the new immunization requirements for your child, effective the first day of school.

 

Happy Memorial Day and have a wonderful weekend.

 

Sincerely,

 

Melissa Shindel
