In February, we are proud to celebrate the continued success and growth of our students at Ignacio Middle School. This year remains focused on academic excellence and strong communication, while building pride throughout our school community.
Ninety-five percent of our students successfully completed their History Day projects, demonstrating dedication and academic growth. We recently hosted History Day Night, which had strong family participation and showcased the hard work of our students. In addition, students have completed the middle of the year’s STAR Benchmark testing for math and language arts and are showing measurable growth in both areas.
Athletics continues to be a strong source of pride for IMS. Boys Basketball recently finished their season, taking 2nd place in the League Tournament in Bayfield after a hard-fought two-point loss to Miller. Girls Basketball also wrapped up an impressive season with 35 girls participating. The A team finished 4th in the league for the season. Currently, 20 students are participating in Boys and Girls Wrestling, and we are excited that Ignacio will host the League Tournament on Saturday, March 7 at Ignacio High School, which will include the first-ever Middle School Girls bracket championship.
As we look ahead, we have several important events coming up:
- Math Night – March 4
- End of 3rd Quarter – March 5
- Band Concert – March 10
- 3rd Quarter Honor Breakfast and Character Counts Assembly – March 12
- Building Accountability (BAC) Meeting – March 2
These events will lead us into spring break and provide additional opportunities to celebrate student achievement and community involvement.
We continue to focus on increasing academic rigor through a strong curriculum and ongoing staff development. Friday Academy remains available to provide additional academic support for students who need it. Communication continues through weekly updates, social media reminders, and our next Building Accountability (BAC) meeting, Monday, March 2. We encourage all families to participate.
Building pride in our school remains a top priority. As always, we encourage our students, staff and families to speak positively about our school and celebrate the many accomplishments happening each day.
Thank you for your continued support of Ignacio Middle School. Together, we are building a strong, successful school community.
