Notes for the week:
It's a busy week at MPMS! Make sure you read through the entire WAG and visit the team WAGs below for specific dates and times for end of year events.
This Friday is Miles for Miracles, an event that has long standing tradition at MPMS. Thank you to the families who have donated water and snacks for our students. After a meaningful assembly celebrating organizations in our community that help those impacted by cancer, students will either participate in a 5k or 1 mile walk to raise awareness for the cause. Then, classes will head out for end of the year field trips. It's a fun day!
8th grade honors assemblies also happen this week. Please join us in the cafeteria at the following dates and times if you have an 8th grade student:
8th Grade Blue Team - Wednesday, May 20th at 7:40 am
8th Grade Gold Team - Thursday, May 21st at 8:30 am
We would be SO appreciative if you would take our brief feedback survey regarding our CKH processes and school. Details below!
Weekly Launch:

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.
