TylerSIS portal is used primarily in the Middle and High School Buildings. Through TylerSIS, students and parents can see their child's grades, lunch account, missing assignments, attendance, student information, and more. Parents discuss the importance of checking TylerSIS when students have missing work or want to know more about their grades. If you have any questions in regards to TylerSIS, contact the Middle or High School office or a teacher.

Parents:

Email is widely used throughout our district. Email is a great way to teachers to contact you or you to contact them. Email is also used to receive important information regarding school events, missing work, grade up-dates. and more. It is important to check your email often, if not daily. Also, please make sure your email address provided in your child's back to school paperwork is current and actively used.

Students:

Please check your email daily. Check your email daily or multiple times a day. Teachers and principals send important announcements, events, and information that could be useful to you. Also, it is important, on days absent, that you send your teacher's an email to inquire about missing work from the day or days you may be absent.

Google Classroom is our online platform to post announcements, assignments, and resources for learning to our students. Through GoogleClassroom, parents can link their email through their student to see assignments that are posted, missing assignments, and announcements. If you are unsure how to link your email to your child's GoogleClassroom please contact one or your child's teachers.

High School does not have a set school supply list. It is encouraged for students to bring the necessities to begin the school year, such as notebooks/paper, pens and pencils, folders, and binders. Once students meet with their teachers, they will know what other supplies may be needed for their classes.

The Middle School staff would like to invite all incoming sixth graders, as well as any new

student to the district going into middle school, to attend our Middle School Camp. The Middle

School Camp will be held on Wednesday, August 9th, from 7:30 am to 11:00 am. The camp is

designed to allow all students new to the middle school a chance to become familiar with our

school. The camp will offer an opportunity for students to: participate in a building tour that is

designed to help them find their way around the school, meet the staff, have questions

answered by a student panel, practice opening their lockers, as well as many other introductory

activities. Our hope is to assure a smooth transition from elementary to middle school for all

students. We will meet with students and parents in the middle school / high school library

starting at 7:30 am. Shortly after, Dr. Logan and the middle school staff will welcome all students

and parents in the middle school/high school library. After introductions, the students will be

dismissed to the middle school gym to begin their activities. Dr. Logan will provide information to

the parents as well as host a question/answer session.

High School Schedule Pick Up begins Thursday, August 17th at 8:00am. Back to School Night will be Thursday, August 17th at 5:30-7pm.

Before your student-athlete can participate in a MSHSAA sanctioned sport, the Athletic Department must have a current Physical, the Annual Requirements form, and Insurance information, on hand. If you are unsure if your student needs a physical, please contact your child's coach or the Athletic Department.
