MMS Update

Greetings MMS Families,

Welcome home to our 8th graders from your culminating experience! We hope you had an incredible trip filled with new experiences, meaningful learning opportunities, and lasting memories with friends and classmates. As we begin to look ahead to the next chapter, Merrimack High School will be hosting a Welcome Night this week for rising 9th graders and their families. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about life at MHS and begin the transition to high school. We are also getting excited for our End of the Year Spring Dance on June 5th!

In our ongoing effort to increase school security, we have the following procedures when parents/guardians come to our school during school hours. Thank you all for your understanding.

Dismissal - If dismissing a student, we ask that an authorized dismissing parent/guardian show their ID in the foyer, and then wait in that location for the dismissed student to meet you.

Dropping off items - If a parent/guardian is dropping off an item for a student, we ask that they leave it in the designated area in the foyer.

Visiting the school - If parents/guardians are arriving for a scheduled meeting, we ask that they show their ID in the foyer and then sign in at the main office to receive a visitor pass.
