Our students are making headlines, and we want to share all the great news with you. We will keep this page updated with important announcements, news stories, and student shout-outs. Please check back often, and help us celebrate our students’ many achievements.
Powell Middle School will be hosting a Title I Community Night for parents and students on Thursday, September 21 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. in the cafeteria and library. We will offer booths from around the community that support our students, have tables with resources that promote an organized learner, and offer Canvas training to parents who are new to the platform. More information to come as we get closer to the date.
Our students will continue to use the CANVAS Learning Management System (LMS) to access class information. You are able to access grades and assignments through Canvas. We will provide information to parents on Thursday, September 21 at the Title I Community Night event. The students have already received training on the LMS. Please take the time to get your account set up and paired with your child.
Mark your calendar for Powell Middle School's fall picture day on on Tuesday, September 26, 2023. All students will have school photos taken during their P.E. class.
It is important to encourage your child to seek out opportunities to show kindness. Suggest that your middle grader think of safe ways to assist people who are struggling or lonely. Maybe he’ll make cards or bookmarks for nursing home residents or have a virtual game night with younger cousins who miss seeing friends.
Do you want to raise the odds that your middle school student will actually follow your advice? Get his input. Instead of saying, “Setting your alarm ten minutes earlier will keep you from scrambling to get ready every morning,” try, “I’ve been running late in the mornings, too. What ideas do you think could help us?”
