Winter Newsletter

Principal's Message

It has been a busy winter at Mineola MS. First, I want to congratulate all of our students who participated in the production of Aladdin Jr. We had 237 students involved in the cast and crew. Kudos to all of you! Also, congrats to the Robotics team who were strong competitors in the First Lego League Tournament. Nice job!

As we approach Spring Break, I want to remind parents that 2nd trimester report cards will be coming out on March 14th. Please be sure to login to the parent portal and see your child's progress. If you are unable to come in for a conference, please feel free to reach out to your child's teacher(s) and schedule a time to discuss your child's progress.

Immediately following Spring Break, we will be administering the ELA State Exam. The Math Exam will be administered the first week of May.

Be sure to follow us on Twitter (@MineolaMS) to see some of the latest things going on in our classrooms and school.

As always, if anyone has any questions or concerns, please call the main office at 237-2505.

Sincerely,

Andrew J. Casale

Principal
