1st Edition
A Special Message From Your Principals
Dear Middle School Parents and Guardians,
As September nears, we know that many of you and your children have been awaiting information about the
2020-2021 school year. Dr. Rogers has shared with the community the plan for middle school students to return to
school for full days and we wanted to add to the district FAQ’s our developing plans to welcome all middle students
back to our communities whether attending school in person or learning from home.
This presentation outlines in “first edition” format what our middle school program will look like for the upcoming
school year. We will add to this as time goes on and email you updates as we are able. This is just the beginning.
If you have general program questions, please feel welcome to email us. If you have questions regarding your
individual student, please email his/her guidance counselor.
Sixth grade families: Please save the date of August 31st! We are preparing a virtual orientation for you, which may
be a pre-recorded presentation or a live virtual experience. More details to come soon. Please enjoy the remaining
days of summer.
Warmly, Ms. Burget and Mr. Bonanno
