| Principal Message |  Principal's Message: Good Morning Falcon Families! Here we are…starting the 4th quarter of the 2017-2018 school year! It is cliché but so true, time sprints by. This is especially true when there is so much to accomplish. The 4th quarter of the school year is always one filled with so many emotions. Students and teachers are anxious about high-stakes tests, there are many wonderful field trips planned which students excitedly look forward to, and of course, there is the anticipation and nervousness for 8th grade students as they prepare to spread their wings and leave the Nest. Each day of this quarter will hold many possibilities, challenges and joys! We look forward to this final nine weeks of school and all it holds for our students. We are all committed to Finishing Strong! | | AIMS and AzMerit Testing: | Next week, we will begin our state testing starting with the AIMS Science test on Tuesday. We then move right into the AzMerit tests on Wednesday and Thursday. One of the things we tell our students, is to always do their very best in everything they do. That includes, the day-to-day classroom work, performing in the fine arts, working hard on the athletic fields, and also, taking assessments. Please encourage your child to take their time and do their best on the test. They have worked hard with their studies all year, and it is now time to demonstrate that their hard work has paid off! |
| Athletics |  Hi Falcon Athlete Families! Welcome back from Spring Break! Tryouts for Girls Volleyball, Boys Baseball, and Track begin this week, March 26th through the 29th. All students will be placed on a team by the end of the week. As a reminder, all athletics practices begin immediately after school and end at 5:30pm on Monday through Thursday of each week. Activity buses leave MMS at 5:40pm sharp. Game/Meet schedules will be finalized and distributed after teams are in place. If you have questions about athletics, please contact Sue Miller at s.z.miller@maranausd.org or at 520-682-4724. We are looking forward to another great quarter of Falcon athletics! Go Falcons! | | Counseling Corner |  Remember, we have counselors to assist students with their social / emotional needs. If you notice that your child seems stressed, angry, or sad, please reach out to our counselors so that we can offer support. | | PBIS: Positive Behavior Intervention Support |  At MMS, we have high expectation for student behavior! Every day we tell students that we expect them to show RESPECT, take RESPONSIBILITY for their words and actions, and to have PRIDE in all they do and say. When students meet our expectations, we strive to recognize them. Sometimes that means we give them a Falcon Ticket to let them know we appreciate their behavior. Students can then place their Falcon Ticket in a prize box for a chance to win one of four great prizes. This month's prizes include: a $25 Amazon gift card, a $25 Bass Pro Shops gift card, a 32 oz. Hydroflask, and a $25 American Eagle Outfitters gift card. | |
Marana Middle School will provide an experience that fosters life-long academic and personal growth in a world-class education environment. Faculty and staff will collaborate with families, students and the community to develop strong, caring and productive leaders. | | | ***PRIDE***RESPECT***RESPONSIBILITY***
