MMS General Information 2023-2024
Below are a couple of important reminders for the 2023/2024 school year:
1.) Morning drop-off procedures: If your student is not a bus rider, please try to drop your student off at MMS slightly before 7:30am each day at the Door 2 Palmetto Avenue main entrance. We will have students wait outside until 7:37am each day, at which time the doors will open, and students will enter the building and go to their lockers. First hour starts at 7:45am. On inclement weather days, students will be allowed to enter the cafeteria and stay there until 7:37am each day. School breakfast eaters will be allowed in the building each day starting at 7:15am and should report to the cafeteria.
2.) Please be sure to check Skyward Family Access to ensure your family contact information is correct. You can also check Fee Management in Skyward to ensure all fees are paid.
3.) School Supplies: Click HERE for Grade 7 school supply list and click HERE for Grade 8 school supply list.
4.) Skyward Gradebook: Our MMS teaching staff will make every effort possible to have Skyward Family Access Gradebook updated each Tuesday by 12:00pm. Please understand this will not always be possible depending on when certain assessments are assigned and collected; however, this is our building-wide goal. The purpose of this building-wide goal is to keep parents, guardians, and students abreast of academic progress in a timely manner.
5.) Dress Code: Please review our MMS Dress Code on page 14 in the assignment notebook. Also, hats and hoods will not be allowed during the school day for this school year.

OPTIONAL Academic Support Program 2023-2024
Below is some information regarding an OPTIONAL academic support program we are excited to offer to ALL Marshfield Middle School students:
Tutoring & More is a program offered to Marshfield Middle School students interested in after-school tutoring, homework help, study time, or simply a place to complete school activities before returning home in the evening. “Tutoring & More” is not intended to serve as direct instruction. Instead, this is a place for students to focus on an academic task with assistance from a certified Marshfield Middle School educator. “Tutoring & More” is open to students each Monday through Thursday from 3:05 - 4:05pm in Room 201. This program is free of charge and a snack is provided each day. Students are able to attend as they or as their parent/guardian choose. Please click on one of the following links to learn more about the After-School Tutoring & More program:

Principal's Welcome
-
Greetings, Tiger family!
Welcome to the school year. It is my humble honor to serve the students, staff, families, and community in my role as Marshfield Middle School Principal. Our talented and dedicated faculty is committed to the whole child as we work together to provide our students with the best education possible. We are also focused on supporting your child socially and emotionally as we emphasize our core values of respect, honesty, and responsibility.
In the two-year middle school experience, we are committed to smooth and seamless transitions as 7th graders enter our building on their first day and as 8th graders leave our building to go to the high school. My hope as principal is to foster an environment where students push themselves to be the very best they can be in this critical developmental stage of adolescence.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if there is anything you would like to discuss as we work together to provide the best two-year middle school experience your child can possibly have here at Marshfield Middle School.
Sincerely,
Matt Biederwolf

My goal as Assistant Principal is to provide leadership that will facilitate a school environment that is safe and respectable, for your child to receive the best possible academic instruction. I am confident that our school will continue to be a place where our students can learn and grow both academically and socially. We value honesty, respect, and responsibility.

Our core values are: Respect, Responsibility, Honesty.- Teaching positive and acceptable behaviors

- Perfect Attendance - Yearly Recognition for those students who did not miss one entire day of school
Check-in, Check-out Program (CICO)
- CICO is a PBIS Tier 2 intervention program for students who may need more positive adult attention and structured feedback to be successful in school. It is very important that this is a positive experience for the student to help encourage them to make good choices.
- Goals of CICO – 1) Improve student engagement, 2) Reduce office referrals, 3) Improve academic success
- Student Cohorts – Each quarter a new cohort of students is selected to participate in CICO. Please note that students can opt-out of the program.
- Student Requirements –
- Pick up Tally Sheet every morning in the lobby.
- Have each teacher fill out and initial tally sheet (each hour every day)
- At the end of the day drop off tally sheet in the Main Office and pick up a piece of candy.
- Each student who turns in their sheet every day of the week will receive some special recognition from a school administrator or PBIS Team member.
- Staff Involvement –
- Greet the student warmly when they give you their CICO rating sheet.
- Sometime during the class period circle the rating scores, initial the sheet and give back to the student. Give a positive compliment or statement to the student when returning the slip.
- At the end of the day, each CICO student will turn in their slips to the office and receive a piece of candy as incentive to turn in their slips.
- Data Collection – Tally sheets for each student will be tracked on a digital log. At the end of the quarter we will compare student data (discipline referrals, grades, attendance) from quarters 1 & 2 with quarter 3 to see if there was improvement.
