Student-led conferences will be held Monday, October 19th. Please watch for information from your student's Buzz teacher regarding the schedule times.

We are excited about dress up days for homecoming week!! Parents, please be mindful of appropriate dress on Monday's pajama day. No slippers allowed as they are slippery and the floors will make them dirty. Have a great weekend!!! Go Yellow Jackets!!!!

Next week is Homecoming Week! MMS Homecoming Pep Rally will be Thursday, Oct. 1st, at noon at Meredith Memorial Stadium. Middle School will not attend the High School Pep Rally due to social distancing concerns. Everyone will have an opportunity to show their school spirit by participating in themed dress up days throughout the week. Monday, 9/28 - "Pajamas Day": Dress comfortably, but modestly. Tuesday, 9/29 - "Flashback Day": Wear your neon colors. Wednesday, 9/30 - "Squad Day": Get with your friends and dress up around a central theme. Thursday, 10/1 - "Disney Day": Dress as your favorite Disney character. Friday, 10/2 - "ORANGE OUT"!!

Preparing and testing lunar landers in 7th grade science!

On Wednesday, October 28, we will be giving the PSAT 8/9 test on our campus. The cost is $13.00 and is available to 8th grade students. The PSAT 8/9 allows students to practice and prepare for the SAT. It gives them an opportunity to work on timed tests since they tend to struggle with the time constraints of the SAT and ACT. In addition, the PSAT corresponds directly to the SAT, and with the results, you will receive information on how to continue to prepare for the SAT based on your student’s scores. If you would like for your son or daughter to take the PSAT 8/9, please have him or her come by the counselor’s office to sign up by Oct 21. Please make checks payable to Mineola Middle School. Space is limited, so students should sign up soon. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs. Dudley at 903-569-5338.

For PE this year we are having the students bring their own appropriate workout clothes. Please no tank tops, sleeveless, or cutoffs. Short sleeve shirts and appropriate length shorts are required. Student's clothing should still be within the dress code. It is also important that they bring clean clothes everyday. Remember being clean and staying clean will be the key for our schools moving forward successfully.
