News and announcements
Incoming families—join our welcome events on Wed. March 19 and Wed. March 26
Welcome to our incoming families! We're looking forward to meeting you. You're invited to one of our two incoming student nights:
Wednesday, March 19 from 5–6pm in the Denman Library
Wednesday, March 26 from 5–6pm in the Denman Library
Hear from our school leadership, and meet the PTSA outside the library. We'll have some snacks and information on participating in our community.
To get to the library from the front entrance on Oneida Ave., walk down the stairs, through the double doors that take you through the "breezeway" and back inside, and the library will be on your left.
Share your interests—it's never too early to get involved
Ready to get involved in middle school? Fill out our interest form, and we'll send a reminder in July about joining our PTSA. Let us know anything you'd like to participate in and we'll reach out next school year.

Businesses and organizations donate items or services to auction off.
You bid on these items. Starting bids are typically 40-50% of the value, so there is a chance to win something at a deep discount. There are text notifications, proxy bidding, and Buy It Now just like eBay.
When the auction ends, winners receive a payment link.
PTSA volunteers hand over items to winning bidders.
