Mrs. Wendy Harper’s middle school class brought a little extra sweetness to the Central Office! These students brought fresh-baked cookies to share with our staff as a special Friday treat.
Thank you, Mrs. Harper’s class for bringing a smile to our faces and for reminding us that sometimes the sweetest moments come from simply sharing with others.
Let's talk about the thing that's always in their hands.
Phones. Social media. Gaming. Screens.
For today's kids, digital media is part of everyday life - but when does normal use become too much?
Join us August 27th for a free, powerful, practical conversation about digital media overuse.

Welcome back, Bulldogs! As we begin another great school year at Morgan County Middle School, we're asking all car rider families to help keep arrival and dismissal safe and efficient by following our traffic procedures.
Please remember:
🚫 No student drop-off on College Drive.
A few reminders for a smooth start:
✔️ Review the car rider map before the first day.
✔️ Have your student ready to exit the vehicle when you reach the drop-off area.
✔️ Pull forward as directed to keep the line moving.
✔️ Please be patient and show kindness, especially during the first few weeks as everyone settles into a new routine.
Here's to a fantastic year at MCMS!
