Today, our 8th grade students participated in a class meeting to review important topics, including cafeteria and restroom behavior, grades, attendance, and overall school expectations. We reinforced the importance of making responsible choices, demonstrating respect, and maintaining positive habits as students prepare for high school. We also discussed student privileges and eligibility requirements for participating in school activities and events. Parents are encouraged to review the class meeting slideshow with their student to reinforce these expectations and continue the conversation at home.

We will be holding a Halloween costume contest for students and staff! Students may wear costumes to school on Friday, 10/30. Please make sure to follow the below guidelines for any costumes. Also, remember that 10/30 is a 4-hour day and MAMS learners will be dismissed at 12:10.
Costumes must be appropriate for a school setting. Avoid any offensive or inappropriate themes, symbols, or language.
Ensure that costumes are safe. Avoid sharp objects, trip hazards, and excessive makeup which could impair vision.
No masks or face-coverings may be worn on campus. This helps to provide a safe learning environment for all building occupants.
No real or prop weapons. This includes swords, bats, pitchforks, and other similar objects.
Avoid distractions. Costumes should not be overly distracting. Avoid excessive lights, noise, or other elements that could disrupt classes.Keep it rated PG. Costumes should be appropriate for our students' ages. Students may not wear costumes which violate the dress code or contain overly mature/explicit themes.
Have fun responsibly. Students should enjoy the Halloween spirit while respecting others. Doing this will help contribute to a positive and inclusive atmosphere for all students.

MAMS students & families,
We encourage you to attend the MRHS football games on Friday nights. All attendees should know the rules listed below for attending these games. Students should be respectful, make smart choices, and show good sportsmanship. Students have been informed that misbehavior at these events may result in school-based consequences. Enjoy the game, support the Huskies, and represent MAMS with pride!
