MMS HSA News - Welcome Back!
MAPLEWOOD MIDDLE SCHOOL HOME & SCHOOL ASSOCIATION
Welcome to an exciting new school year at Maplewood Middle School! You are joining a remarkable community of teachers, parents and students. The MMS Home and School Association (HSA) helps keep our community informed about what is happening at MMS. 

 Although school will be opening this year on a distance learning platform, the HSA is just as committed to our students, families, teachers and community as we have been in the past. Our goal as an HSA is to work toward establishing programs and services to improve students' lives, regardless of where our students are engaged in learning.  Although many of our programs and events have been put on hold during the current health crisis, the HSA never stops planning and preparing new initiatives to enrich our students’ experiences. We look forward to a time when MMS can safely reopen for in-person instruction. Until then, we will continue to work with school, staff and parents as we navigate these challenging times together --- a pandemic, social unrest and an upcoming election!  

Whether in person or from home, the HSA can only support the variety of enrichment programs with the assistance of amazing volunteers and community funding. We hope you will join our efforts by visiting our website and joining as a member. You can also look for volunteer opportunities and fundraising efforts, donate, and receive up-to-date information on HSA and MMS activities as we share them. Please be sure to "like" the MMS Families and MMS HSA Facebook pages, so you can receive important information about school activities.

Here is what you need to know for the first week (good luck!): 
  • Virtual School launches on Tuesday, Sept. 8 for the 6th and 7th graders and Wednesday, Sept. 9 for 8th Graders.
  • All days this week are essentially half days (aka, early dismissal), starting at 8:20 a.m. and ending at 12:30 p.m.! 
  • The District Handbook has a lot of information on scheduling, policies, Canvas directions. This is your go-to guide and so be sure to familiarize yourself with it. 
  • Principal Gronau's Welcome Letter with additional information about Day 1.
  • For 6th Graders - Orientation is on Tuesday, Sept. 8 during 4th period (10:09 a.m. to 10:42 a.m.) Do attend periods 1-3!
Please contact Veronica and/or Kelly (HSA Co Presidents), if you have any questions about MMS or the MMS HSA. Best wishes to our entire community for a fantastic school year.
