Ms. Molly Nielsen

Dear MS Families,

As we reflect on this season of gratitude, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks for a wonderful school year so far. Your unwavering support, trust, and partnership are what make our middle school a truly special place for students to learn and grow.

Wishing you and your loved ones a season filled with warmth, joy, and connection.

End of Semester 1 Assessment Calendar

In preparation for the end of the semester your child’s teachers have created an assessment calendar to ensure students know what’s coming up. Your child’s advisor will review the assessment calendar with your child several times a week to ensure they know what’s coming up. Please understand that this is a living document, and it will continue to be updated and edited as we make our way through the final weeks of the school year. We also hope this calendar is supportive of you in helping your child manage their time outside of school and meet upcoming deadlines. Please scroll down on the document to find your child’s grade level calendar.
