Dear Parents and Students of Main Street Middle School,

The school year has ended and it just went so fast.  And the way the school year concluded is like no other experience we have ever had in our lives, a pandemic that closed our school and shelter in place throughout the county, state and nation.

During the 4^th quarter when COVID-19 closed the school, it is important to take this moment and commend all students at Main Street Middle School as 92% of our student body completed either a Google classroom assignments or the distance learning packets and in some cases students did both. This also deserves a special shout-out for the endless support by parents. You as parents made time available to ensure your child was completing the work or coming by the school to pick-up or drop-off packets.  You modeled an expectation you have for your child to succeed as a learner.

Thursday, June 4th was Main Street Middle School Promotional Ceremony Drive-Thru Ceremony to honor 364 8^th grade Trojans and their families. What a fantastic day. Sunshine and happiness everywhere.  Together, everyone made the most of a special day to honor our students and their achievements. 81 students in the Class of 2020 had a grade point average above 3.5.  166 students in the Class of 2020 had a grade point average of 3.0 and above.  Congratulations to the following students for achieving the Top 10 Honors- Diego Guillen, Valedictorian, Liliana Negrette, Salutatorian, Chloe Arriaga, Alexia Calderon, Bryanna Canchola, Danneli Fernandez, Angel Garcia, Nathan Hernandez, Jocelyn Quezada, and Katherine Amaro Ramos.

To Main Street Middle School Class of 2021, your work in the classroom demonstrates 64% of you earned the A or B Honor roll.  Continue to push yourselves next year to be of the best in your studies and collaborate with each other to explore, discover, and learn from one another.  You have much talent as a class academically, socially and making a positive difference in the Soledad Community.  You are a great group of Trojans. Continue to be Trustworthy, Responsible, Opportunities, Just do it, Accountable, Never ever give up, and Success is yours to have.

May everyone enjoy a safe and healthy summer. Keep joy in every day, be kind, be generous, and keep on learning! Thank you for all of the support during the 2019-20 school year.

Sincerely,

Lois M. Peterson, Ed.D.
