Notes for the week:
We have one day left for state testing as our 7th grade students complete the M-Step this Tuesday. On Friday we will celebrate positive behavior and the demonstration of our TEAM values at our monthly Oiler Drop Day - there are only 2 left for the year!
Most teams have sent out their end of the year permission slips, so make sure you are signing those so your student can join in on things like Miles for Miracles, grade level field trips, and other fun opportunities.
Keep an eye here for the latest updates regarding honors assemblies, special events and building updates. Thank you for staying connected with us as we PERSEVERE and Finish Strong!

MPMS Accelerated Math Program and MPMS French Students Attendance on Days with an Irregular Schedule
For Elementary Students Attending MPMS
These students WILL NOT attend on most days that alter the daily schedule, including delay days, half days, and days where MPMS students start with first hour. One issue is that there may not be a bus available to transport them back to their elementary schools. Another issue on delay days is that they will be finished with their MPMS math class long before their elementary start time.
The only exception to this rule will be days where they will be taking their trimester exams. They will indeed attend on exam days, even with the change in schedule.
For MPMS Students Attending MPHS
These students WILL NOT attend on delay days, half days, and all other irregular days unless otherwise instructed by their MPHS Math/French teacher.
