Good Evening Hawks!
This is Principal Curtis Mitcham, calling with important information for Mount Holly Middle School families.
Reminders/Updates/Info for the week
Attention students, please bring all Math Elite Applications to Mrs. Stacie Bell by the end of the day Monday November 2nd.
Our United Way Campaign ends this Friday, November 6th. Our Hawk Pride Competition is heating up between the classes. Currently, the top four classes with the biggest donations are Mrs. Ray's Class, Mrs. Stephens ' Class, Mr. Scott's Class, and Mrs. Bell's Class. It is still time to send in donations to help your child's class win.
Carolina Photography will be at the school on Friday morning, November 6th for picture retakes. If your student was not photographed on the original picture day, they will be photographed on Friday for the yearbook and picture packages if you choose to order. Orders can be placed online at www.carolinaphoto.net or you can have your student pick up an order form from the office to send in cash or check on picture day. If your student is getting a retake, please send the original picture packet to school with your student on Friday.
Hello everyone! The art room is looking for donations of yarn (scraps and leftover yarn from previous projects are perfectly fine!) as well as fabric squares and scrap fabric. Any donations would be greatly appreciated as we stock the art room for our fall projects and begin preparing for the spring semester! Thank you so much for your support! From Ms. K
As we get closer to the holiday season, we want to make sure our families are aware of resources available for Thanksgiving and Christmas assistance. If your family could use some help this holiday season, please visit our school page to complete the short Google Form. You can also reach out directly to our school social worker, Kaitlyn Walton, with any questions or to discuss available resources.
Parents please remember to view your students' attendance records and academic progress in Infinite Campus. Students and parents/guardians have real-time access to all attendance & academic data within Infinite Campus, and we strongly encourage you all to use it regularly. If you're not sure what Infinite Campus is or how to navigate it, I encourage you to click here: https://www.gaston.k12.nc.us/for-parents/infinite-campus.
Please continue to encourage your child to do his/her best work, not just academically but behaviorally. We strive to provide a positive learning environment and we must all work together to make that happen. As a reminder, students must follow the GCS Student Code of Conduct and MHMS Student Handbook. Please remember that blankets are not allowed at school. Also, each day our bus drivers do their best to safely transport our students to and from school. It is important that your child follow bus expectations and behave on the bus. If your child does not follow expectations he/she will lose the privilege of riding the bus.
As a reminder, the building opens at 7:45 am where we receive and supervise students. The school day begins at 8:30am. Please make sure to have your child to school on time. Regular attendance is essential to student success. Every day at school gives students opportunities to learn, build relationships, and develop important skills. Even a few missed days can make it difficult to keep up. Please help your child arrive on time and attend school every day unless they are sick. Every day matters
