Part of our goal at MMS is to ensure student success by eliminating failures related to work not turned in or work turned in incomplete.

Academic tutorials are not a discipline write up and do not go on your child's discipline record.

When students have not finished assignments, have turned in incomplete assignments, or missed assignments due to absences, then teachers may assign an academic tutorial to give the student additional time to complete the work.

Academic tutorials are during the student's lunch period, and students eat lunch while working.

The following formulas will be used in determining the six week average:

* Grades 7-8 Major grades 60% of average Daily grades 40% of average

The MMS Student Council is composed of sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students who promote the general welfare of our school.

If a student wishes to be a member of the council, the student needs to sign up during the open enrollment period held at the beginning of the school year. Members are required to earn points by attending meetings, serving on committees, helping with student council sponsored events and various other activities as determined by the sponsor. Point values for activities are determined by the sponsor.

A student who is not seated in class when the tardy bell rings is tardy and shall be assigned to campus detention class beginning with the third occurrence.

On the fourth and fifth tardy, a student will receive additional detention assignments.
