Hello MGS Families,

We are also beginning our MAP testing this week and next to see where are students are academically to start the year. These MAP tests help to guide the teachers to determine the best way to get their students to grow academicly.
There are a lot of upcoming important dates approaching as well. MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

Due to the extreme heat, ALL after school activities have been cancelled. There will be no games or practices on 8/18/25.
The first three days of school? NAILED IT.
Your 8th graders came in strong, bright-eyed, curious, and only slightly confused about where their next class was. (Hey, we’ve all been there.)
We’re happy to report that the 8th grade teachers are alive, caffeinated, and already loving this crew. With a whopping 95 combined years of teaching experience, we’ve basically seen it all and are ready to go this year.
Thanks for sharing your amazing kids with us. We’re in for a fantastic ride!

2B had a great first week of school!! We did many team building and "get to know you" activities.
Our 5th grade students spent some time today making our sidewalks a little brighter with positive messages for students to see as they enter the building!
What an effort by the MGS Softball team tonight with another win over Washington Middle! Great job tonight ladies and good luck tomorrow!
Happy First Friday of the year! What an amazing week! It has been so great to see students and staff back in the building and interacting with each other. There have been so many happy faces this week as students to adjust to new grade, new teachers, and new curriculum.
Next week, teachers will really begin to get into a regular routine with our first full week. Hopefully the students and staff get time to rest, relax, and rejuvinate this weekend. Have a great weekend and we look forward to another amazing week at MGS! We Are Redbirds!
