Welcome to the Poynette Middle Parent Connection Blog

This blog is designed to provide our Poynette Middle School parents resources to help them navigate their journey of raising a teenager today.  This blog will share some information not only about things happening at school, but also resources to help your son/daughter with social issues that may arise during this time period in his/her life.  Feel free to enter your email address in the "Follow by Email" text box, and you will receive a notification anytime a post is entered.

Open House
Our Open House is Wednesday, August 29th from 4:00 to 7:00 pm.  This a great opportunity for students to come in and drop off their supplies at their locker, follow their schedule, and meet their teachers.  Students and parents can view their schedules on the Parent Portal, or can pick up a hard copy at the office.  We very much look forward to seeing all of the kids back in our buildings next week!

First Day of School
Our first student day is on Tuesday, September 4th.  When students arrive to school, they should proceed to the Middle School Playground area at the east side of the Elementary/Middle School.  When the doors open at 7:28, students will report to the gym for a brief assembly before heading to their 1st class of the day.

Parent-Teen Connect
https://www.parenteenconnect.org/ is a website that provides multiple resources for parents on a variety of topics.  This website is a companion to the Social-Emotional Learning program that we use with all of our Middle School students during our Homeroom lessons.  I recommend taking a minute to check it out, and save it as a favorite to reference.
