Families helping families at Mt. Tabor Middle School is a special, annual winter tradition for our school community. Families seeking assistance with groceries or gifts during the winter can make requests for support, and families in a position to offer that support are invited to contribute gift cards and/or cash. We handle gift-giving with discretion, and all names remain confidential.

The Successful Schools Survey is an opportunity for students, staff, and families to provide important feedback on their school environments, learning experiences, and sense of well-being and safety at school.

The survey is conducted once every school year to provide timely information to schools, district leadership, and the community, allowing us to make informed decisions about school climate and culture. This year, the survey window is open November 1 to December 6.

èßäapp¹ÙÍø highly values the input and opinions of its families, and we welcome all èßäapp¹ÙÍø parents and guardians to complete this year’s survey. We use the data to help improve our schools, providing targeted feedback and training on how to create healthy school environments that are welcoming for all.

You can complete the Successful Schools Survey online using the link provided below. Please complete one survey per household. If you have more than one student at èßäapp¹ÙÍø, we ask that you complete the survey considering the experiences of your eldest child.

The survey will take approximately 15-30 minutes to complete and is available in English, Spanish, Russian, Somali, Vietnamese and Chinese.

The Dr. Matthew Prophet Education Center, the rather staid home to èßäapp¹ÙÍø administrative staff, had a very different look on Monday evening when it hosted the world premiere of “The Return of Emergetron.”

The red carpet event was in celebration of a new film starring students – and for students – about the many emergency scenarios they might encounter in a typical school year.

Through the duration of the grant, 25 schools designated as Title I at the time of the grant award will receive comprehensive school psychology services.
