Our Crew/Graduate Profile Professional Learning was a great way to start off what is going to be an amazing year! We can't wait for our students to experience CREW. We are still in need of supplies for our students to build their projects. #GeneralsLEAD

Lady Generals Basketball starts almost immediately as soon as school starts. (Boys season starts later.) You can submit the KHSAA sports physical to Mrs. Daugherty. This must be current and on file in order to tryout. Good luck to all that tryout! 🏀💜💛🏀 #GeneralsLEAD

(Paying through Myschoolsbucks will not be available until just before the first day of school.) This event will offer you and your child a smooth transition to a successful middle school experience.

Please be advised: 2023-24 student placements/schedules will not be released if the student is missing a physical, birth certificate or does not have a current immunization certificate on file. Notifications have been sent by postal mail or email to patents/guardians throughout the past school year to those who are non-compliant. Documents can be emailed to deana.daugherty@bullitt.kyschools.us or mail to: MWMS, 269 Water Street, MT. Washington, KY 40047. Contact the school office at 502-869-5200 with any questions.

Mount Washington Middle School will be implementing calming spaces in each individual classroom for the 23-24 school year. Classroom calming spaces will allow students to identify their emotions and self regulate within the classroom setting, but also provide them a more private place to do so. We have created a starter tool kit for each calming space, but still need seating for each space, which is where we need our community's help! If you are willing and/or able to help us in providing these spaces for our students please visit our wish list to donate to our school. Thank you for your help in making our students' mental health a priority. If you have any questions regarding this request, please reach out to our MTSS Coach Morgan Tierney at Morgan.tierney@bullitt.kyschools.us

MWMS Families and Supporters: MWMS will be working on PBL (Project Based Learning) activities this school year. We are in need of a variety of items to complete these activities throughout the school year. If you can donate any of the following items to our projects, please drop them off at MWMS. The building will be open Monday through Thursday, 8:00-12:00 until July 31, when regular building hours will resume. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1J3E-H0BqYhAIWtiGej20s8mfIDiR34Hn/view?usp=sharing If you have any questions regarding the donations requested, please contact the school at 502-869-5200. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1J3E-H0BqYhAIWtiGej20s8mfIDiR34Hn/view?usp=sharing Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide for our staff and students. #GeneralsLEAD
