It’s been a great first week back at Mt. Vernon Middle School! Our students and staff have jumped right in, reconnecting with routines, relationships, and learning with positive energy and focus. Thank you for your continued partnership as we build a strong start to the semester together.

We have, however, noticed a few recurring technology issues that we need your support in addressing:

Thank you for partnering with us to help students stay prepared and responsible. These small habits make a big difference in maximizing learning time for everyone.

We often hear from parents who would like a simple way to keep track of their child’s missing assignments. If that’s you, please use this link to follow a quick two-step process to activate this option in Skyward.

Please note that teachers update grades at different times throughout the week, and missing assignments are not updated automatically. If you have questions about a specific assignment, we encourage you to contact your child’s teacher directly.

We offer Spring Super Saturday Program—an exciting opportunity for students seeking enrichment beyond the classroom!  Spring SSAT is a STEM enrichment program for K-8 students that offers hands-on content designed 1-2 grade levels above students’ current grade levels to promote challenge and interest exploration. Our program is open to all children seeking talent development opportunities.

 

The program takes place over three or six consecutive Saturdays beginning January 31 and ending March 7. You can learn more about our Spring SSAT program from our website. We feature some of our courses (click “class options” on the top right to browse more courses and course descriptions).

 

The spots fill up FAST! Registration is open until January 17th, so reserve your spot today--  https://web.cvent.com/event/37bcdc9a-f09a-416b-954e-1bb654cc5128/summary?environment=P2 

 

If you have any questions about our program, please reach out to geri@purdue.edu or Super Program Coordinator, Yichen Dong, at dong288@purdue.edu.

Peer tutoring will be offered after school on Wednesdays from 3:10pm - 4:00pm in Room B204. There will be mini-lessons at the start of tutoring to discuss topics such as organization, using a planner and many other tips for having a successful school day. High school NHS students will be paired with middle school students to work on homework, missing assignments or to review topics in math and ELA. Students will need to be picked up at 4:00pm in the front of the building. 

If you are interested, please complete this form. Spots will be limited due to having enough high school tutors to support students. I will send a follow up email after I receive the form to let you know if your student has a spot. Thank you for your request. 

If your student will be absent, please notify the school by 10:00 AM using one of the following methods:

If your student needs to be picked up early, please notify the school ahead of time to ensure a smooth process:

Please include the following in your message:

Parents, please be aware: We close the entrance off of State Road 234 at 3:20 PM for our car rider line. If you plan to pick up your child early, please do so before 3:20 PM, as the entrance will no longer be accessible after that time.

Thank you for your understanding.

Athletic Website click Here

Anyone interested in trying out for an athletic team is required to complete and submit to the Athletic office the IHSAA Sports Physical and Final Forms prior to tryouts.

Please read the information HERE regarding attendance at Mt. Vernon High School athletic events.

We kindly ask for your support in helping us keep our school community healthy. Recently, some students have been coming to the nurse’s office asking whether they are sick after being sent to school with symptoms.

Please remember that you know your children best. If you truly believe your child is not feeling well or may be ill, please keep them home to rest and recover. This helps protect not only your child’s health, but also the well-being of other students and staff.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us maintain a safe and healthy environment for everyone.

Sincerely,

Medications can be dropped off from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Dropping off medication for a student can be tricky after 3:00 PM due to the car rider line forming and SR-234 being closed in front of the school. Lunchtime (11:45 AM to 1:00 PM) is a busy period in the clinic, so if you drop off medication during this time, please be aware that your visit may take longer.

Be Prepared: It’s a great idea to keep a small personal kit on hand during your menstrual cycle. Consider including items like pads , wipes, and even a change of clothes—just in case.
