🍬Candy Grams🍭
Our Dude Be Nice program will be selling CandyGrams beginning Dec. 11th.
Candygrams will be sold during lunches only and are $1.
Students may send a Candygram to other students or adults in our building.
Students need to know the first and last name of the student they are sending to and their homeroom teacher.
New MMS Tardy Policy begins Jan. 3
Musselman Middle School – Attendance Matters
Students must be in the classroom and in their assigned seat by 7:40 in order to be on time to school.
Late bus or other late arrivals report immediately to the front office.
Tardiness to school: If students arrive late to school, they must have an excuse from a doctor to not be considered tardy. Late buses will be excused.
I understand that there are consequences as a result of continued tardiness, and they are as follows:
3rd Tardy: After School Reteach
4th Tardy: In-Person Parent Conference
5th Tardy: In School Suspension
Failure to attend after school detention will result in an ISS. If a student continues to be tardy, the result will be continual in-school suspensions and social probation, i.e., exclusion from extended day activities, extracurricular activities, class trips, dances, etc.
