FALCON FAMILY FLYER
Greetings Falcon Families,
PRIDE:
We are very PROUD of our athletic program! We officially started games this week and the experience has been amazing for our students. A big SHOUT OUT to Mr. Tinghitella and Sue Miller for scheduling so many games and making MMS the envy of the league with our high participation numbers!
RESPECT:
I would like to highlight the RESPECT we all have for our parent community. Today, we had our first WATCH D.O.G.S. volunteer! It is wonderful to have dads join us on campus, making connections with our students. Thank you Mr. Kornacki for heading up this valuable program.
RESPONSIBILITY:
Our staff know that it is our RESPONSIBILITY to continue to learn and adopt a "GROWTH MINDSET"….just like our kids. We will be coming together with other teachers from across our district tomorrow in an effort to continually grow in our profession.
NO SCHOOL SEPT 1st and Sept 4th
All MUSD schools will be closed on September 1st for our annual Professional Development Day. We will also be closed on September 4th in observance of Labor Day. Enjoy the four-day weekend with your family!
ELECTRONIC GRADE REPORTS
Our school strives to ensure that parents receive important information in a timely, efficient, and cost-effective manner. To that end, we are excited to announce the expansion of the Report Card feature within MUSD Connection, the District's secure Web-based tool, providing parents and students the ability to view student information such as class assignments, grades, course history, attendance, and health information from the convenience of any computer or mobile device, 24-hours a day.
This Report Card feature now provides the ability to view and print your child's K-12 grade Report Card/7-12 grade Progress Report instantaneously! This means, timely notification regarding your child's academic progress and no more waiting for the mail. Not to mention, the cost-savings associated with reduced printing and mailing expenses, so that more dollars can be directed to your child's classroom.
Not yet connected? It's easy and fast. Simply contact our Registrar, Emily Sosinski at 682-3102 to receive your secure MUSD Connection User Activation Key.

COUNSELOR'S CORNER:
Please call our office if you ever have any questions or concerns that need to be addressed. In addition to individual meetings with students, counseling lessons and coordinating 504 plans, the Marana Middle School Counseling Department offers a variety of counseling groups to our students. Our groups usually run for 7-9 weeks and our first set of groups will be starting August 21st. Based on interest and availability of facilitators, we offer the following groups throughout the school year:
Anxiety, Conflict Resolution, Healthy Teen Relationships, Self-Esteem, Motivation, Incarcerated Parents/Living with Grandparents, Grief & Loss and Sharing.
If you are interested in having your student in a group, please call or email our office so we can get a permission slip to you. In addition, your student may be bringing home a permission slip. Please make sure it gets signed and brought back to the counseling office. If you have further questions about these groups, please contact our Counseling Secretary, Mrs. Carol Bennett, at 520-682-1715.
ATHLETICS:
The Falcon Athletic Department has been working diligently with other schools to secure as many games as possible for our student athletes. Falcon athletics is flourishing with 14 teams overall. Our mission of providing a positive experience for all athletes is facilitated by securing as much game time as possible for the players. Our coaches are putting in long hours preparing our Falcons to be ready for any adversity they may encounter. The athletes are making us proud as they win (and possibly lose) with class. We greatly appreciate the positive comments and the amount of support the parents are showing by the large crowds cheering our Falcons on to victory. Falcon athletes are flying high!!!

Your Partner in Education,
Ms. Dickson – Principal
