Team Activities!
An important feature of the middle school model is having purposeful plans in place to build meaningful relationships and positive community with the students and staff of your interdisciplinary teams. There is money available to support team activities. If you would like to organize a fun, community building activity with your team (including the elective teachers associated with your team) between now and the end of the year, please have your team leader share your idea via email with the Hixson admin team by November 28.

Message from PTO
This year, your PTO is working hard to create a sense of community. A big part of that is introducing ALL of you to our families in the "Getting to Know You" series. If you are interested, please take a moment to answer some of the questions on the Google form (below) so that Kelly Dunsford can write a profile about you and post it on the Hixson PTO Facebook page. You do not need to answer every question. These posts are loved by our families, and many parents have commented about wanting to see more! Thanks again for your time and work with our Junior Statesmen!
