Welcome to Florence-Carlton Middle School
Monthly update from the Principal
December 2024
Hello Middle School Falcon Families and Students,
It’s hard to believe we’re already in December and just a few weeks away from winter break. I’d like to extend a big thank you to everyone who contributed to the Can the Cats vs. Can the Griz food drive in November. Our middle school donated an impressive 571 pounds of food to the Food Pantry!
A quick reminder: the second-quarter midterm is Tuesday, December 10th. Students have until Friday, December 13th, to turn in any missing work from the first half of the quarter. If your student is falling behind, please encourage them to talk with their teachers to see what they can do to make up any missing assignments.
The middle school band and choir winter performances will take place next week in the MPR. Both concerts are scheduled for Tuesday, December 10th, at 6:30 PM.
During December, our students are focusing on the importance of giving. As a middle school, we will be collecting items for various nonprofit organizations throughout the month. We aim to present these donations to representatives from each group during an assembly on December 19th.
Please remind your students to dress appropriately for winter weather. Students are expected to be outside twice a day:
Morning: Before school until 8:05 AM (unless they are eating breakfast).
Lunch: After eating, students go outside.
All middle and elementary students will remain indoors before school and during lunch when the actual temperature or wind chill is below zero.
If your student is or will be absent, you can notify us via email or phone:

The middle school yearbook is looking for activity or athletic photos of our students. If you have photos you’d like to share, please send them to jenkinss@florence.k12.mt.us.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. Have a wonderful December and a joyful holiday season!
