MMS Students take mySAEBRS Survey
On October 10th, MMS students will take the mySAEBRS survey. mySAEBRS is a screener that is utilized, along with additional information, to identify supports a student may need to be successful at school. MMS began using mySAEBRS as a student self-assessment in the fall of 2022, and mySAEBRS has been used at O.H. Anderson Elementary for years. The mySAEBRS asks questions about how students feel about school and connections to adults and peers at school. Below are some examples of the questions.
The survey will take about 5 minutes for students to complete. To learn more, please visit the mySAEBRS website here.
Join Model United Nations

Middle School is Magic
Last Thursday, Mrs. Korich Burshten's 5th hour class had a magical guest!

The class is studying public speaking and was excited to have the opportunity to learn some tips & tricks from the perspective of a professional performer.
The MMS Student Council planned some great Spirit Days for us during Homecoming week! Looking good, Zephyrs!
