Meet & Greet – August 28, 5:30pm—7:30pm
MMS Meet & Greet scheduled for Wednesday, August 28th. Here are some important details:
- This is completely OPTIONAL and is designed for both students and parents.
- From 5:30 - 6:00pm, there will be an Administrative Welcome/Introduction in the Old Gym/2nd Floor Balcony
- From 6:00 - 7:30pm, we will have an “open house” format. This means that students and parents can peruse the building at your own pace and stop into classrooms you choose to briefly meet teaching staff. We encourage students and parents to also practice opening lockers. Please bring a hard copy of your student’s schedule for the event.
Parking for this evening will be challenging. We are encouraging families to take advantage of streetside parking close to the Marshfield Middle School. Please enter through Door 2 (off of Palmetto Street in the main office area) beginning at 5:15pm and promptly seat yourself in either the Old Gym or 2nd Floor Balcony. Again, this evening is completely optional, but also encouraged. Thank you for your partnership in your child’s education. We are looking forward to seeing many of you on August 28th!

Below are a couple of important reminders for the 2024/2025 school year:
1.) Morning drop-off procedures: If your student is not a bus rider, please try to drop your student off at MMS slightly before 7:30am each day at the Door 2 Palmetto Avenue main entrance. We will have students wait outside until 7:37am each day, at which time the doors will open, and students will enter the building and go to their lockers. First hour starts at 7:45am. On inclement weather days, students will be allowed to enter the cafeteria and stay there until 7:37am each day. School breakfast eaters will be allowed in the building each day starting at 7:25am and should report to the cafeteria.
2.) Please be sure to check Skyward Family Access to ensure your family contact information is correct.You can also check Fee Management in Skyward to ensure all fees are paid.
3.) School Supplies: Click HERE for Grade 7school supply list and click HERE for Grade 8 school supply list.
4.) Skyward Gradebook:Our MMS teaching staff will make every effort possible to have Skyward Family Access Gradebook updated each Tuesday by 12:00pm. Please understand this will not always be possible depending on when certain assessments are assigned and collected; however, this is our building-wide goal. The purpose of this building-wide goal is to keep parents, guardians, and students abreast of academic progress in a timely manner.
5.) Dress Code: Please review our MMS Dress Code on page 15 in the assignment notebook. Also, hats and hoods will not be allowed during the school day for this school year.

Below is some information regarding an OPTIONAL academic support program we are excited to offer to ALL Marshfield Middle School students:
- Paper: “Paper” tutoring is an educational support system that provides MMS students 24 hours a day/7 days a week live help, essay review, and real time/real teacher feedback and homework help. “Paper” tutors are highly qualified and certified educators who assist students with classroom assignments and concepts. The program is designed to support students after school hours when MMS teachers are not readily available. Many times, this is in the evenings, during the weekend, or following an after-school extracurricular activity. “Paper” tutors are free to students and parents in the School District of Marshfield. Students can access Paper Tutoring on their iPad thru "My Apps".

Welcome to the school year. It is my humble honor to serve the students, staff, families, and community in my role as Marshfield Middle School Principal. Our talented and dedicated faculty is committed to the whole child as we work together to provide our students with the best education possible. We are also focused on supporting your child socially and emotionally as we emphasize our core values of respect, honesty, and responsibility.
In the two-year middle school experience, we are committed to smooth and seamless transitions as 7th graders enter our building on their first day and as 8th graders leave our building to go to the high school. My hope as principal is to foster an environment where students push themselves to be the very best they can be in this critical developmental stage of adolescence.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if there is anything you would like to discuss as we work together to provide the best two-year middle school experience your child can possibly have here at Marshfield Middle School.
Sincerely,
Matt Biederwolf
