MMS Football game against Ridge Spring will be moved to Thursday, August 31 at 6:00 PM.
Good afternoon, MMS Families!!
Information for this week.
If you didn't receive your child's interim in the mail last week, please email Dr. Koeppen or call the office and let Ms. Green know. We will resend if needed.
Picture day went well. Mark your calendars now if you want your chief to retake or they weren't here. Make up picture day is October 20th.
We will start earning chief bucks this week. Students earn chief bucks for Keeping it Real--Responsible, Engaged, Accountable Leaders. Chief bucks will be digital this year. Chief Bucks can be earned, awarded, and spent digitally using the PBIS rewards app. This app is enabled using students' IDs. So, they will be at a disadvantage if they have a temporary ID. Please encourage your chief to bring their ID.
Our football team did awesome last week at their Jamboree. This week will be scrimmaging Ridge Spring on Wednesday at 6:00 in Ridge Spring.
Come out and see your MMS Chiefs play today!
Come join us tonight!!
MMS PTO meeting Tuesday, August 22nd. We will meet at MMS in room 302. Topics to discuss: Starting a PTO, Tribe Program, Chief Time, and Personalized Learning Groups. We hope you can join us.

Greeting MMS families,
We are having an instrument rental night with our MMS/MHS Band Teacher, Ms. Talley-Bowens. Looking forward to see you there!
Hello MMS Families!
Our Tribal Rally on Friday was AMAZING!
Updates--Math MAP testing was moved to Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Students worked extra hard last week on MAP Reading and took a little longer than expected, so we delayed Math until this week.
7th grade parents--students must have a Tdap immunization and paperwork to our nurses by August 25. This is crucial and must be followed. Any 7th grader after August 25 who do not have this or the paperwork exempting on file with our nurses, will not be allowed to come back to school until this is taken care of.
IDs--All students have been issued school IDs at this point. Days without an ID will begin on Monday. Please help your chief come up with a system to remind them to bring their ID.
Wednesday Morning will be our first Coffee with Koeppen--please come join me in the MMS conference room at 7:30. This an opportunity to ask questions and express concerns or just hear about all the great things happening at MMS.
Greeting MMS families,
Looking forward to a great week.
Students will start meeting with their Chief Time groups this week. Your child was sent an email last week to complete a Google form to select their top three choices. If your Chief still needs to complete it, he or she may complete it before 9 AM. The link can be found in their email.
We will have MAP testing on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Parent letter has been sent to your email explaining this testing.
Our Parent University dates and times have been set. See the flyer to save those dates on your calendar.
I apologize for the late sending this week. It has been a busy weekend with family. Thank you to everyone who has reached out with condolences and comforting words in the loss of my father in law. I truly appreciate our wonderful community.

Good evening MMS Families,
We had an awesome day on Friday; It was wonderful to see everyone.
Just a heads up! WCTEL was able to get our phone systems working on Friday, but we are still without internet on Chieftain Hill. It may be out most of the day tomorrow. We will certainly communicate when it is back.
This week we will be taking our initial assessment for our new Math and ELA curriculum. These assessments will drive everything we do in Math and ELA this year. Please encourage your Chief to take them seriously and give their best effort. We truly need to know where they are instructionally to personalize instruction for each student.
ELA will be taken during ELA class on Wednesday, and Math will be taken during Math class on Thursday.
Students will begin regular schedules tomorrow. We will have new copies for everyone during our morning transition and breakfast tomorrow.
We are so excited about this school year!!
