Beach Bash Cookies!

Hello Tiger Families!

Normally I write these updates on Thursday evenings or Friday mornings. However, the life of a middle school principal can get pretty busy in May…and I am writing this while hanging out at our Beach Bash this afternoon. I tell you this, because I want you to know how delightful it is to be around our 8th graders today. They are dressed in their Hawaiian gear, and they are loving life. We started our day with a dance party and have ended our day with a bash.

Our PTO has put together an AMAZING event. Every little detail has been attended to: pizza, soda, cookies with staff faces (see pic), Kona ice, a photo booth, a melt down inflatable, gaga ball, and a DJ. Our students are enjoying the time together and having all sorts of good ol’ fashioned fun.

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 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.
