Mark your calendars for May 8th at 6 pm. This is a great opportunity for families transitioning to MGMS next year! There will be a presentation about the middle school procedures, daily school schedules, lockers, and staff. You won't want to miss it. We will have a visit during the day on another day, but this is a great opportunity to help ease everyone's nerves about the transition. MGMS is a great school and this is a fun night!
