Tdap Information from Nurse Kandy

Attention parents of 2015-2016 6th graders:

As the parent of an upcoming 6th grader, Nurse Kandy wants you to be aware that all students who will be eleven years old on or by August 3, 2015, are required to provide a current Alabama Certificate of Immunization or “blue card” containing proof that a dose of Tdap vaccine has been received. Tdap is a tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis vaccine.

If you have already provided an updated blue card containing this information, thank you very much.

If you have not, please provide an updated “blue card” containing written proof that your student received the Tdap vaccine as soon as possible.

We expect to have 2015-2016 class schedules ready the last day of school. Students who have provided their updated blue card will receive their schedules at that time.

Students without updated blue cards will have their schedules held until an updated card is provided.

The first student day of the 2015-2016 school year is Monday, August 3.

Thank you for taking care of this state requirement as soon as possible.

We are planning now and looking forward to the 2015-2016 school year.

Techie Leaders

Two of our 5th grade students have taken technology to a new level. They have created their own You Tube channel where they showcase various Minecraft and other video game tutorials. We are so proud of these students at MMIS who are being innovators at a young age.
Here is the link to one of their videos on the channel Bergyboyz:

A note from Ms. Davis

MMIS Families,

As you may know, the HGHS varsity basketball teams (boys and girls) made the regional tournament.  They play on Thursday, February 12 - girls at 12:00 and boys at 1:30.   In support of HGHS, our students will be excused from school if they attend the games. We will not be providing a pep bus or making any other organized group arrangements. It will be up to parents to provide the transportation. To be excused, students must submit a ticket stub with their name on the back to their homeroom teacher on Friday morning. Keep in mind that we are holding our first school-wide academic competition on Thursday afternoon. Students will be working in teams to solve science mysteries and build various things like weight-bearing pasta bridges, puff mobiles, and egg drop carriers. Remember, Friday is a half day and students will be dismissed at 11:05 a.m. We will have our first dance from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. on Friday. Admission is $5.

Go, Trojans! GOOD LUCK
