Middle School

Stevensville Community, Due to unsafe transportation conditions, we made the difficult decision to cancel school today. All school activities are cancelled for November 19th. Thanks for your understanding, Dave Thennis - Superintendent

Stevensville Middle School staff and students had a busy week last week! Last Monday, our students participated in the Veterans Day Assembly that was hosted by Stevensville High School. Thank you to our Veterans for your service! Bryce Sopeland, our Student Council president, helped present the Middle School Board report at the regular Board meeting last Tuesday and did a great job. Thanks Bryce! Then, last Wednesday, we hosted our first quarter Honor Roll assembly to honor students who have a 3.5+ and 4.0+ GPA! Thank you to our Student Council for providing fun games throughout the assembly. A huge thanks to all of you that came to the book fair and supported our fundraiser for the libraries and special programs. Not only do we get a portion of the proceeds, but hopefully your child got some books that they will enjoy for many years to come. Supporting their love for books and literature is a huge step towards them becoming great readers. If you were not able to make it to the fair or we were sold out of a title you wanted to get, you are still in luck. Here is a link to the online book fair: www.scholastic.com/bf/SteviJackets You can order items up until November 24th. Have fun shopping and thanks again! Finally, a thank you to all of the families that attended our Parent Teacher Conferences . We hope you liked our new format, and that it allowed you to see more teachers and check out our cool STEAM projects where students had to design and build their own carnivals! Also, a huge thank you to our Parent Teacher Club (PTC) that provided a meal to our staff this week and volunteered their time for our Book Fair. We could not have made this week work without you! Thank you!

Dear Stevensville Middle School Students and Families, Parent-Teacher Conferences are next week on Wednesday, November 13th and Thursday, November 14th from 4:00-7:00 PM. We will be changing up how we offer Parent-Teacher Conferences this year in that each teacher will be available to meet with you in our Elementary Gym. Each teacher will have their own table (spaced out for privacy) to allow flexibility and time for teachers to meet with more parents and for parents to meet with more teachers. If you need a longer conversation with your teacher regarding your students' concerns, they will have available times for you during the conference to schedule with them. All first quarter grades will be finalized and posted before the end of the day this Friday, November 8th. All grades can be viewed on Infinite Campus as they will not be mailed out, and a help desk table will be available at Parent-Teacher Conferences if you are unable to login to Infinite Campus. Please let us know if you have any questions by calling Mrs. Armour at 406-777-5533. We hope to see you all next week! Thank you!

The first day of practice for MS boys basketball is Monday, October 21st in the Elementary Gym after school. Their first games will be in Stevensville on Monday, October 28th at 4 PM vs. Darby. Students need to make sure they have completed a physical and have filled out the correct paperwork before they can practice and play. If a child competed in a sport this fall, they have already completed the necessary paperwork.

The MS football game versus Ronan today has been cancelled due to the poor air quality. Pictures for football will still happen after school today. Thank you!
