🚍❗️ ATTENTION - IMPORTANT BUS RIDER INFORMATION 🚍❗️
If your child is a bus rider and you haven't been receiving phone calls, texts, or emails regarding their bus, the issue might be with your contact details registered in PowerSchool. Please contact your child's school to check and update your contact information to ensure you receive all necessary communications about transportation. We encourage all guardians/parents to inform the school when your contact information changes, so you can be best informed.

Middlesex Elementary School had its multiplication challenge on Thursday, February 29th! The goal of the competition was to see which class could answer the most multiplication problems correctly in a limited time. Congratulations to Ms. Filo's class for winning! 🌟🎉
🕵️♀️ Mrs. Billups, Media Coordinator, and Mr. Kelley, ELA Teacher at G.R. Edwards Middle School, collaborated to organize an engaging Crime Scene Investigation. The activity began with students assembling in the library for their class. When Mrs. Billups burst in (in character!), she kicked off the role-playing activity, revealing that someone had fallen down the stairs – but it was no accident!
During this interactive session, students interviewed at least 10 other students, honing their questioning and active listening skills while making inferences and connections. Upon forming their conclusions, students would bring their findings to Mrs. Billups and Mr. Kelley to verify their correctness. Check out some of the photos! 🔍📚
