Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

As principal of Midway Middle School, I welcome you to our community school.  If you are the parent of a seventh or eighth grade student, I hope you are returning without the stress our sixth grade parents and students, as well as those students and parents who are new to our community, must feel as they enter a new school.  Middle school is an exciting and challenging time for both students and parents.  This year we are pleased to announce many new staff members:

Mr. Charles Elmore- Technology

Mrs. Megan Arndts- 6th Grade Math

Mrs. Jennifer Armes- 7th Grade Language Arts

Mrs. Brooke Wood- 6th Grade Science & 6th Grade Social Studies

Mrs. Mary Coulter- 7th Grade Science & 8th Grade Science Enrichment

Mrs. Amber Cigliano Johnson- Resource/Inclusion

Our staff at Midway Middle School has implemented programs and procedures that will result in more communication with parents, students, and teachers.  Please become familiar with the following resources:

Requested Supply Lists are available on our website:  http://mms.roaneschools.com or in the school office. These items are necessary for students to be prepared to learn.  If you need help with purchasing supplies and a backpack, please contact our school office at 865-717-5464.  Luminary United Methodist Church, in cooperation with Volunteer Energy Customers Share, will be providing backpacks and supplies for MMS, MES, and MHS.

This is the same program we used last year, but the name has been changed from SnapGrades.  Information will be sent home with your child with temporary passwords if you are a new user.  We encourage all parents and students to have a log-in for our grading program.  Calendars, events, flyers, and Roane EXCEL afterschool program information will also be available at this site.  Last year, parents were very appreciative of having the ability to monitor the academic progress of their middle school student.

  • Email:  All teachers have email addresses that are linked to JupiterGrades.  Email links are also provided on the school website.
  • Teacher Webpages:  All teachers will have webpages that are linked from our school website.  Please utilize the information that is provided.

The construction at Midway Middle School is not complete.  We began the school year without the use of our gymnasium and our new kitchen.  The project is expected to be completed by the end of September.   A ribbon cutting event will be held October 4, 2011 at 7:00 PM.  Until the work is complete, we will continue to hold PE classes in the cafeteria, outside, or in classrooms.  Our new kitchen actually began preparing food on site on August 19, 2011.  Mrs. Kathy Newby is the MMS Food Service Manager.

The principal, teachers, and staff of Midway Middle School look forward to helping your middle school student develop core knowledge and skills necessary for high school and beyond.  We will also provide appropriate social and educational activities through after school programs, dances, athletic events, and school trips.

Again, welcome to Midway Middle School.  It’s going to be an exciting year!
