Attn: 8th grade parents! Please send a baby photo of your 8th grader to be used for the 8th grade end-of-year slideshow. The students always enjoy trying to guess who the baby is! You can email to bakerd@mineolaisd.net or send with your child to be scanned. Group candids are also needed. You may send as many group photos of your child and friends through the years as you like, but only one baby photo is needed. Thank you!

This message is for all middle school parents. We have important benchmark testing this week and next. This testing helps us to know the testing needs of your child. We want to encourage all students to be present as much as possible to ensure their needs get met and they can be as successful as possible on their state testing. Students who do not meet passing standards are required to have remedial classes the following year as mandated by HB 4545. Thank you

OUTSIDE THE HIVE! Hello MMS students and parents! Please help the yearbook expose the interesting and unique things that happen outside our hive. What activities do you do after school that are not connected to school? Do you help your family bail hay, ride dirt bikes, raise animals, cook dinner? Whatever it is, get a photo of you doing it! E-mail the photo to morgant@mineolaisd.net to get it in the yearbook's "Outside the Hive" page.
