Welcome to Millennium Middle School
At Millennium Middle School we are proud of the academic achievements, talents, and creativity of our students. Our success is due to our MMS educational partnership comprised of the staff, the parents, the community and the students. Our school population is made up of over 850 students and a dedicated staff consisting of 2 administrators, 31 full time general education teachers, 11 shared teachers, 5 special education teachers, 1 full time and one part time counselor, 3 secretaries, 1 media specialist, 1 hall monitor, 4 food service workers, 2 building engineers, 5 custodians, 4 lunch aides and part time staff consisting of a speech pathologist, a school social worker, an ESL (English as Second Language) teacher, an academically talented facilitator, a careers facilitator, and a restorative practices facilitator. We have established and maintain high expectations for student behavior and attendance. The average daily attendance at MMS is over 97%. Many opportunities exist for students to be involved in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities such as athletics, band, choir, drama, or a variety of clubs.

Parents and community are integral members of the MMS educational team. These dedicated volunteers make a difference in the school environment by serving on committees that discuss new/revised building procedures, building budgets, fund-raising, school improvement, etc. To cultivate active parent and community participation, C.H.E.E.R.S., M.S.P.T.O., Band Boosters, Choir Boosters, Eighth Grade Dance Parent Committee, and the Shared Involvement Process Team (S.I.P.) hold regular meetings throughout the school year.

MMS is committed to “quality with equity” a concept to improve the performance of all students, focusing on equity of results and closing achievement gaps. We are data-driven and results-oriented, implementing instructional best practices to engage students, help them construct knowledge, and enable them to demonstrate content mastery. The middle school curriculum is designed to challenge all levels of ability and interests. In order to achieve a quality education for each individual, students are offered as many opportunities as possible, balancing academic requirements with elective choices. The core curriculum at MMS meets the Standards and Benchmarks of the Michigan Curriculum Framework, as well as the grade level content expectations (GLCEs), and is aligned with the MEAP. Learning experiences are provided in all areas of the core academic subjects and in a variety of elective offerings. Millennium also houses the PLUS program, servicing the district’s middle school students who are academically talented in mathematics and/or language arts.

In addition to academics, Millennium fosters development of Habits of the Mind which help students acquire the skills, attitudes, and habits necessary for success not only as a learner and problem solver in the school setting, but also as at home and, in the future, as a responsible adult in a workplace setting. The Habits of Mind are comprised of: Persisting; Managing Impulsivity; Listening with Understanding and Empathy; Thinking Flexibly; Metacognition; Striving for Accuracy; Questioning and Posing Problems; Apply Past Knowledge to New Situations; Thinking and Communicating with Clarity and Precision; Gathering Data Through All Senses; Creating, Imagining, and Innovating; Responding with Wonderment and Awe; Taking Responsible Risks; Finding Humor; Thinking Interdependently; and Remaining Open to Continuous Learning.
