Notes for the week:

This week is exam week at the middle school. Student attendance is very important for review sessions and asking questions ahead of these comprehensive tests. Students are welcome to stay for Oiler Hour this week if they need help completing any last minute assignments or need extra study time for exams. Reminder that there is no school for students on Friday as it is an end of trimester transition day for secondary staff.


With the turning of the page on the calendar we are also introducing a new Capturing Kids' Hearts theme and it is COURAGE. Our students will have 4 lessons on this topic and we look forward to having discussions about what courage looks like at Mt. Pleasant Middle School.

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.
