Principal's Message
It has been a busy and productive summer here at the Middle School and we are gearing up for the beginning of what promises to be an exciting school year. The teachers have been in and out preparing for their 2007-2008 classes. The construction workers and custodians have been working to make renovations and prepare the building for our first day on September 6 th and the Middle School has a fresh, new look! 
After a long summer break, I look forward to greeting our new 7 th grade students and helping them transition from their elementary school experience. The physical, social and emotional challenges that these students will face can be overwhelming and it is important that we do all that we can to help them be comfortable and successful from the beginning.
If your new 7 th grader comes home with any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at any time.
I’m also looking forward to welcoming back our returning 8 th grade students. They were a wonderful group to work with last year and I hope that they will continue working to their potential in the coming year! I’m sure that all of the students are looking forward to returning to school, seeing their teachers, beginning their new classes, and renewing friendships with those students that they did not have the opportunity to see over the summer. Let’s make 2007-2008 a year to remember!
Sincerely,
Philip H. Mero, Principal
AuSable Valley Middle School
