Good Afternoon MCMS Families!

Happy Friday and Happy Mother's Day Weekend!  We would like to wish all of our MCMS Mother's, a wonderful weekend!  We would like to thank all of our MCMS families for helping make our Teacher Appreciation Week extra special for our teachers!  We are blessed with a dedicated staff that is committed to the success of our students.

We have nine days of school until summer break!  Remind your child to keep up the hard work in their classes and get all of their assignments completed.  Please continue to review your child's grades in the Parent Portal and on their Schoology app.  Reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions related to grades or assignments.

Erin's Law and Gavin's Law Presentation

In the year of 2014, the State of South Carolina passed Act 293 known as “Erin’s Law,” as part of health and safety education for its public schools. The intent of Erin’s Law is to give students skills in knowing how to stay safe from sexual assault and how to report any incidents of sexual assault. In addition, Gavin’s Law, Act 54 of 2023, requires local school districts to collaborate with the State Department of Education, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, and the Attorney General's office, to implement a policy to educate and notify students of the provisions of Gavin’s Law. Gavin’s Law deals with educating students on how to identify sexual extortion.

On Monday, May 13th, MCMS School Counselors will be providing our students with a short informational presentation on Erin's Law and Gavin's Law.  Please feel free to email Dr. Dobyns if you have any questions about this presentation, pdobyns@sdnc.org.

Mental Health Spirit Week

To help bring awareness to Mental Health, we will be having a Mental Health Spirit Week.  We are excited to help break the stigma about Mental Health!

Live to Give- Mental Health Awareness

One of our 7 mindsets is Live to Give. The main focus of this mindset is about serving others. As a school, we feel it is important to model this idea and life quality for our students. Each month MCMS will focus on one or more causes/themes to bring awareness too. This month our Live to Give focus will be Mental Health Awareness Month.

Mental Health Month

Yearbooks are in!

The yearbooks are in!  There are a limited number of copies, so you need to order yours today.  The yearbook can only be ordered by going to www.yearbookforever.com and typing in Mid Carolina Middle School.  The cost to purchase a yearbook is forty dollars.  All sales are online we do not take money at school for them they can only be purchased online.  Yearbooks will be delivered to students at the end of next week and students will be given time to sign each others books.  

Return ALL Library Books

As we begin to close out our school year, we are asking for students to return all library books to the Media Center on Monday, May 13th.  We are still missing over a hundred books from our inventory.  Look through your bookbags and in your rooms for any MCMS library books.  Bring them Monday!

Related Art Selection for 2024-2025

Attention rising 7th and 8th grade families, next week we will be sending out a Google Form for students to make selections for Related Arts classes for the 2024-2025 school year.  We are excited to offer a couple of new classes next year, Computer Science (7th grade only next year) and ProTeam (7th and 8th grade).  We will send the electronic selection form and information about each class to everyone via email.  We cannot guarantee every student will get their preferences, but we will do our best to try.
