We are looking forward to welcoming our 6th graders, next year's 7th graders, to Middle School!  There are two ways for these students and their families to learn about Middle.  First, watch our new Orientation to Middle video podcast by clicking here.  This video is valuable for families of 6th graders and the students themselves.  Thank you to our 8th grade students, Betty and Elise, for doing the filming!  All 6th grade students will also be visiting the Middle School teachers on Friday, May 25 to learn about classes and expecatations.  If you have questions, please contact Eve.

Community Education and ALC end this week.

Options will happen on June 1, 2012.  This is a great Marcy tradition, a day when students participate in a variety of fun and interesting classes. 

Students in the Instrumental Music program with Andrew will be sharing their talent and hard work with us on May 22 at 7:00 p.m.

Students in grades 2-8 will be taking either the MCA tests or MAP test between April 17 and May 31, 2012.  Classroom teachers will be letting parents know more specifically when tests will be scheduled in their class, but here is the school-wide schedule.  Please consider testing when planning absences for appointments during this time.

The Yearbook will sell out soon!  The Yearbook is on sale for $13.50 each.  The book will be delivered at signing parties in late May.  The exact day will be announced once we get the books at the school.  We have a limited number of Yearbooks to sell, and once they are gone we cannot get any more!  Order early to insure that you get a copy.  Order Form If you have questions, contact Eve.
