Good evening, Bulldogs! I'm so excited that we'll be welcoming students back into the building in just three weeks! :) While there are still a LOT of questions unanswered, and unknowns, I will fill you all in as soon as I can. One thing I did want to let you know about now is that we're going to be using lockers, but students will not have access during every class change, as we'll be dividing that up alphabetically. All students will be able to use their lockers at arrival, once during morning classes, at lunchtime, once during afternoon classes, and at the end of the day. We are also allowing students to carry clear backpacks with them throughout the school day if they would prefer that. We typically do not allow any students to carry backpacks from class to class for safety reasons, but this year will allow this for clear backpacks. Clear backpacks are not required, but they are permitted. If you have any questions about this, please contact the Middle School office. Thanks!
Attention 6th grade students and parents:
Students can be in band for the first time in 6th Grade! Because we didn’t get to try instruments this spring, Mr. Roberts has developed a website for the band program: https://muband.wixsite.com/muband. Make sure to check out the 6th Grade Band section, Instruments Tab, and FAQ Tab.
After checking out the website, if you’d like to try an instrument in person, you can call and go to Kincaid’s Music, (937) 325-7071 https://www.kincaidsmusic.com/. If you find you’d like to play a particular instrument and you are not interested in playing it first, that’s fine too! If you are unsure of which instrument, but know that you want to participate in band, no problem! We’ll figure that out soon enough.
In any case, if you are interested in participating in band or have any questions, please email Mr. Roberts at robertsz@muschools.com as soon as possible. The deadline for signing up is next Thursday, August 20th. Simply send an email with the student’s first and last name. Be sure to include which instrument you’re interested in if you have figured that out.
I hope to see you in the band!
