MMS Community Newsletter

We are #All Heart at Mooresville Middle!

November 6, 2026

MMS is All Heart!

Next Friday, November 13th, all MMS students will hear from motivational speaker A'ric Jackson (website). For over a decade, people have been inspired and motivated by the words of Mr. Jackson. His mission is to Teach, Inspire, and Encourage all those who hear him, and he takes on the challenge of helping others pursue their goals and dreams. 

He will be speaking to all Red Imp students about leadership in the morning, then will meet with small groups of students during Electives the rest of the day. We're excited to hear Mr. Jackson's message next Friday! Special thanks to Selma Burke Middle School and the MMS PTSO for partnering with us on this opportunity to coach our students in leadership.

How to alert MMS of student absence:

The email address for parents to alert MMS about student absences is:


Parents can upload doctor's notes as well. This process helps to avoid lost excuse notes!
Ed. Opportunity request form
Note: Students may have up to a maximum of 3 days per school year excused to take advantage of valid educational opportunities. Prior approval from either the Principal is required. Absences that are classified as a valid educational opportunity will be coded as “excused” whereas others will be coded as “unexcused.”

To make a request for prior approval, submit the above form to the Principal two weeks before the absence(s). The student is responsible for completing all missed work in addition to submitting a Student Educational Assignment as approved by the Principal in order to have the
absence coded as “excused.” All projects are due within 5 days of the student’s return to school.

Support resources for Students + Families:

Counselor Request Form: We wanted to share the Request to See a Counselor form with parents. (Students will have access to this link in Canvas as well.). Once a student completes the form either Ms. White or Ms. Buff (school counselors) will have the student called to the office. We're here to help! 

MMS Resources Form: There are several resources available to our students and families. If a student is in need of the following, a parent or guardian can complete the form linked above:
One big change this year is that we no longer have access to give out shoes to students. The program has been stopped at the company level. If this changes in the future, we will let you and parents know.

**Please message either Ms. White or Ms. Buff if you'd like help for your student / family in any of the above areas. We are here to help!
