Red ribbon week and homecoming week started yesterday with Hawaiian day.




The 1st day of Homecoming 2019 went great! Tommorow is "Pajama Day". Show your school spirit but remember student dress must always be school appropriate and "house shoes" are not allowed. Wear your PJ's and show your Stinger Spirit! Don't forget, it's also Red Ribbon Week. Wear your red ribbon with pride as a sign of your commitment to a drug free life style. Go Stingers!

This week is National School Bus Safety Week. The school bus ride is an extension of the school day and PCSSD schools is committed to providing a safe transportation experience for all students across the district.


Purchase your PTSO Fall Shirt through Tuesday, Oct. 22nd. A google order form was sent by email to students and parents and is posted on the MMS PTSO Facebook page for you to place your order. All funds raised are used to support student incentives and other student activities.

The annual fall dance is this Friday, Oct. 25, from 6:30-8:30pm in the cafeteria. The theme is Glow in the Dark. Admission is $5 and students must have their MMS Student ID. There will be glow items for sale and a concession stand.

The rain will pass! Do allow it to put a damper your school spirit! It's Homecoming at Maumelle Middle and we are also celebrating Red Ribbon Week. Check the website and Facebook for the events of the week. Today's theme is dress Hawaiian. Come join in the fun, Go Stingers!

Good evening all! Please be informed that our students cannot be dropped off at the Maumelle High homecoming football game. Parents must attend with their student. This is a precautionary measure in anticipation of a large crowd tonight. Thank you for your cooperation.

**ATTENTION** Phones are down at several PCSSD schools and admin offices. Our IT department is working with Windstream to resolve the issue. You track the outage here: https://downdetector.com/status/windstream/map/

In honor of World Dyslexia Day, Mr. Burgess and Ms. DeVun are wearing red.
Dyslexia is brain-based issue that makes it hard to learn to read accurately and fluently. And, a lifelong condition. Kids don’t outgrow dyslexia, but with the right support, key skills can improve.
