Maplewood
Middle School
Jeffrey Truppo
On behalf of the entire Maplewood
Middle School staff, I want to acknowledge and thank you for your continued
support of our school community. I don’t
think we as adults always appreciate the impact community and family
contributions to a school can have on students.
In addition to the impact of the actual contribution, be it funds for
field trips, supplies for classrooms, and special events that bring our school
together, the spirit of the involvement reinforces the message we want all our
students to embody, that of contributing to their community. I really believe that students leave MMS
after 8th grade realizing that their community contributed to their
middle school experience.
In addition to acknowledging the
support our community has provided, I would like to use this end of the year
communication to ask for feedback about our school. I realize you have been asked to fill out a
survey sent from the district office, and with it comment on aspects of our
school. However, as part of a year-long
effort to create a climate of respect at MMS, we are seeking your input on a
more granular level, specifically, our anti-bullying efforts. Following this paragraph are two links to surveys,
one for parents to complete and one for students. Please take a few
minutes to complete the survey, and ask your child to do the same. The results of these surveys are completely
confidential. We hope that you will
share your views. The data collected will be used to formulate a plan for
our anti-bullying efforts in the coming year.

I would also ask you to join me on
Twitter @principalofmms
I am going to use Twitter for short
and frequent updates about happenings at MMS.
This summer I’ll update when the school supply lists have been posted on
our webpage, and when letters are mailed in August with opening day
information. I’m also hoping to send you
updates on the progress of our new science wing, which should see steel erected
in the next few weeks. Most importantly,
I think that this format will allow me to communicate information to you
quickly during the school year. While I
hope I don’t have to use it for the purposes of school closings due to power
outages, it can be an important mode of communication in the event of
emergencies.
For those of you that are leaving MMS,
I wish you and your family the best in your future endeavors. For those of you returning, or joining us in
grade 6, I look forward to seeing you in September. Enjoy your summer.
