Dance Reminder for Parents
Our school dance will be held from 7:00–8:30 PM.
Please do not drop students off early and leave them unattended. Students should arrive no earlier than the scheduled start time of 7:00 PM.
Pick-up will begin promptly at 8:30 PM. Our first dance is usually very timely with the pick-up process, so we ask that parents arrive at 8:30 and remain patient as students are dismissed.
Thank you for helping us make the evening safe and enjoyable for everyone!

If you have a family member or friend who has served or is currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, we would be honored to have them attend our assembly. Please complete the RSVP form below so we can plan appropriately for our honored guests. Due to space limitations, attendance is limited to our honored veterans and active-duty service members.

We are also creating a special slideshow featuring photos of our students’ veteran and active-duty friends and family members. The slideshow will be displayed as students enter the gym for the assembly.
If you would like to include a photo of your friend or family member, please upload it using the link below. Photos must be submitted by October 30 to allow us time to prepare the slideshow.

We encourage families to share this information with their veteran or active-duty friends and family members as soon as possible so they have plenty of time to make arrangements to attend.
We look forward to welcoming our heroes, celebrating their service, and showing our gratitude as a school community.

Mountaineer Middle School: A Vision for Excellence and Legacy
At Mountaineer Middle School, we believe that every student deserves to feel seen, valued, supported, challenged, and prepared for success. Over the past four years, we have worked intentionally to build a culture grounded in five powerful principles: Presence, Passion, Personality, Professionalism, and Preparation—the 5 P’s.
The 5 P’s are more than words on a wall. They are actions, expectations, and daily commitments that shape who we are as a school community.
Presence means showing up for our students, our colleagues, and our community.
Passion means believing in the potential of every child and approaching our work with purpose.
Personality means building relationships, celebrating individuality, and creating a school where students feel that they belong.
Professionalism means holding ourselves to high standards and demonstrating integrity, accountability, and respect.
Preparation means equipping our students with the knowledge, skills, confidence, and character they need for the next step in their lives.
Our work is rooted in the understanding that academic achievement cannot be separated from the needs of the whole child. By addressing the foundational needs reflected in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, we create an environment where students can feel safe, connected, respected, and ready to learn. When children know that the adults around them believe in them and care about their lives beyond the classroom, they are better positioned to reach their full potential.
Over the last four years, we have seen the power of this commitment. Our school community has worked together to establish meaningful goals, monitor our progress, and hold ourselves accountable. The results have exceeded our expectations. Our scorecards, academic performance, and test results demonstrate that when we combine high expectations with strong relationships and intentional support, our students rise to the challenge.
But we are not finished.
Our success is not a destination; it is a foundation for what comes next.
As we move forward, Mountaineer Middle School will continue to strive for excellence—not simply to achieve strong scores, but to develop strong students, strong families, strong educators, and a strong community. We recognize that the challenges our students face extend beyond the school walls. Their success requires continued partnership, communication, resources, encouragement, and support from everyone who has a stake in their future.
To our staff, thank you for showing up every day with commitment and purpose. You are the heart of this work, and your influence reaches far beyond the classroom.
To our students, know that we believe in you. Your potential is greater than any test score or single moment of success. We expect you to grow, persevere, take responsibility, discover your strengths, and become the best version of yourself.
To our parents and families, thank you for trusting us with your children. We need your partnership, your voice, and your continued support as we work together to help every student thrive.
To our community partners, we invite you to continue investing in Mountaineer Middle School and in the young people who will become tomorrow’s leaders, workers, neighbors, parents, and citizens.
Our vision is bigger than test scores. It is about building a culture and legacy that will outlast any one school year or group of people.
We want Mountaineer Middle School to be known for excellence in achievement, excellence in character, excellence in relationships, and excellence in opportunity.
The 5 P’s will continue to guide us:
Be Present.
Be Passionate.
Be Yourself.
Be Professional.
Be Prepared.
Together, we will continue building upon the foundation we have established over the past four years. Together, we will meet our students where they are, help them discover where they can go, and provide the support and expectations necessary to get them there.
This is our moment to build on our success.
This is our responsibility to our students.
This is our commitment to one another.
This is the legacy of Mountaineer Middle School.
Five P’s. One Mountaineer Family. One shared commitment to educational excellence.
