Challenge Day for 6th Grade! We played Fists of Fate
which is a school-wide rock, paper, scissors!

Hello Tiger Families!

We had an AMAZING week! Tuesday included our orchestra honor chamber and philharmonic festival, Wednesday was our late start day and included valuable professional development and a WEB lesson for 6th graders during Advisory, and Thursday and today included challenge days for 6th and 7th grade.

This building is the BEST place to work, because of our amazing students and fun activities. We try every day to embrace the fun (and sometimes crazy) moments in middle school while also working hard and creating a focused learning environment. We love middle school. Yes…REALLY!

Also, parents, please take a moment to check out the Recent Updates section of our newsletter each week. This is where a lot of our information is posted.

Attendance Tips

Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow

Graphic.  Black background. Red circle that says Erie Middle School. Green square that says Be Here. Purple starburst that says Every Day. Light blue rectangle that says All Day.    Yellow starburst that says Attendance Matters!  White wording that is on the left of the graphic that says Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow

If you plan on leaving early for Spring Break please remember to fill out our google form ahead of time.

If your student is absent for a full day, you have 24-48 hours to call in with the reason for the absence, after that it will be marked unexcused. Per board policy, if a student is absent 10 days excused or not, absences will begin to be marked “unexcused” unless previously noted and approved by school administration or there is a doctor’s note provided to the school.

Extended Absences: Please notify the school at least 2 weeks prior to any extended absences via our Google form. You and your student will also need to sign off on our “Extended Absence Form” located in our front office. This form helps students and parents understand how to communicate with teachers and make up schoolwork after the absence.

If you know your student will be absent, tardy or checking out of school please fill out this Google form.

Please provide the school with a note from the doctor, orthodontist, dentist, therapist, or any appointment each time you go.
