| Principal Message | 
Hello Falcon Families.
I know this is a stressful time for many parents in our district. Please know that the site and district leaders are committed to doing everything we can to avoid closing MMS next week due to the RedforEd purposed walk out. We also want to continue to support our teachers. As a principal, I know that teachers are the people who make connections with your kids, teach them content and life lessons, and provide them a consistent, loving place to go every day. Leadership will continue to work with our staff and teachers as we move through this challenge. We will keep you all updated each step of the way. My very best. Ms. Dickson | | AIMS and AzMerit Testing: | | Hooray! With the exception of some upper-level math testing that is scheduled for next week...WE ARE DONE WITH TESTING! We had a great attendance rate of close to 98% of our kids taking the test. I want to take this moment to thank all of you, the parents, who obviously encouraged your child to take the assessment and give it their best. We should all be very proud of our kids! | | Summer Academy for Future Tigers | | Please see the attached flyer for the summer academy that will be available for students who will be attending Marana High School.

The PAL (Peer Athletic Leaders) Leadership Summit is a FREE event for young athletes to learn hands on leadership skills from current student-athletes. Parents are encouraged to come and meet in small groups with representatives from the Early Academic Outreach to learn how to best support and encourage their young student-athletes to pursue higher education. The event is Sunday, April 22nd from 1-4pm in the Jim Click Hall of Champions. See the attached flyer for registration information | | 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***
