Kansas State Assessment results and FastBridge results are in. We are excited to share the results with you. Student results for 6th and 7th graders will be sent home on Monday or Tuesday. 8th graders will receive their results at the 8th grade honors and awards night on Wednesday.

Please take a moment to review your student's scores and if you have any questions reach out to your student's Math or ELA teacher.

It's time to bring those Library Books back to the MTMS Library. There are 709 books still checked out to students.... So there is a good chance your child may have a book or two. Please remind them to get them turned in ASAP. Missing Books/Fee Notices will be sent home on Monday with students, for last minute locations of the books or for paying the fees for losing the books. Thank you for your help in the book collection process.

Students will keep their devices over the summer. The expectation is that they are kept charged, used for school appropriate use, and kept in working order.

If you would like for the school to keep your student's computer over the summer, complete this form and we will have the student turn their device in at the end of the day on Wednesday, May 20. We will have their device charged and ready for them on the first day of school.

If you know you are moving or there is a possibility of your student not returning to MT or the De Soto School District next year, please have your student turn their computer and charger on or before Wednesday, May 20.

8th graders will keep their device for high school.

If your student is looking for something to do this summer, they can pick up a book or follow along with an audio book. Here are some summer reading resources from the Media Center

Pizza Hut is doing their Book It! program which provides students the opportunity to read their way to a free personal pan pizza. Here is more information.

This school year, MVHS and DHS transitioned to using the Bound application in order to process student athlete physicals and athlete information. The middle schools will be following for the 26-27 school year. KSHSAA physicals for the 27-27 school year will be uploaded by parents to the Bound app/website. Physicals will no longer be turned in to the school in person or online. More instructions are in the graphic below. A reminder that all physicals for the 26-27 school year must be completed after April 1st, 2026.

A link to the PDF copy of the most recent KSHSAA Physical Form is below. Please complete and take with you to your student's medical appointment.

We've compiled a list of many of the summer camp opportunities available in the area. Don't miss the great sports camps as well as band & theater!

Students - Please check lost & found ASAP (most items are by the trophy cases - small/expensive items usually go to the office). Any items remaining will be donated at the end of the year. Your things miss you!

Illness

To help control the spread of illness in our school please follow these illness guidelines:

Fever-Keep student home until fever free for 24 hours without the use of medication

Vomiting, Diarrhea, GI upset-keep home until symptom free for 24 hours without the use of medication.

Respiratory Virus Illness (Covid, Influenza, RSV): Stay home until both are true, fever free for 24 hours without medication and symptoms are getting better.

When reporting your student absent due to illness please give a brief description of the illness such as sore throat, fever, vomiting, flu, strep throat. This will help with illness tracking and reporting to the health department. If reporting Influenza (Flu) please indicate the type of Flu such as Influenza A or Influenza B or tested with home test.

Please remember to report absences and late arrivals to the school by 8:30 a.m. You may call the school attendance line at 913-422-5854 or use the online absence reporting form. The school will call to follow-up with unreported absences after 8:30. Students arriving tardy after 7:55 must enter through the front office doors (you are not required to escort late students inside, but if your student is late due to an appointment, please report it to the office in advance so their attendance is appropriately marked).

For the remainder of the school year, the MT office will close each day at 3:30pm (phones and physical office). We are available by phone from 7:35am until 3:30pm each school day. If you need to speak with us outside of these hours, please reach out via email.

We will have limited office hours for the two weeks following school's dismissal. Please leave a voicemail or send an email if you need assistance or before stopping by. The office will close for the summer on or about June 3rd.
