Suncrest Middle Families,
We would like to announce the beginning of our after school programming for YOUR student, Beyond the Bell.
Beyond the Bell will provide students with the opportunity to engage in academic tutoring, enrichment activities, clubs, and additional learning experiences after the regular school day. Beyond the Bell will occur on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:50 pm - 4:25 pm . It will begin on October 6, 2026, and run through December 10, 2026, for semester 1. Semester 2 will begin January 12, 2027, and run through April 29, 2027. We follow the school calendar, and if school is dismissed early for inclement weather, we will not have sessions.
To sign your student up for Beyond the Bell, please use the following link: https://forms.gle/C8NEs2EdvpeRYRBh7
Suncrest Middle is offering parking for WVU Football games. Only $10, no getting parked in, and all proceeds go straight to student programming

The West Virginia Department of Education has issued a waiver to counties that exceeded their allotted number of snow days, allowing Monongalia County to adjust how the additional missed days are managed.
As a result, the MCS calendar will now follow the originally scheduled dates:
• Tuesday, March 17 – No school for students or staff
• Wednesday, May 6 – No school for students; Professional Learning Day for staff
Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we implement this update.
