October was a wonderful month at MPMS and we are ready to continue that into November. Over the next few weeks we are in full fundraising mode! Students went home with information on our building fundraiser, a digital calendar, last Thursday. We need your help in getting your student signed up to participate. The funds received from this are CRITICAL to us and provide opportunities such as end of the year field trips, student rewards and incentives, building activties and classroom supplies and the best part is 98% of donations come directly to us! Sign up continues through this Friday and the fundraiser goes LIVE at noon on 11/7/25. Details below - it only takes a few minutes to register but the impact is so great and students can earn fun prizes! Thank you for helping make this a success for MPMS! Click on the fundraiser flyer to be taken directly to the sign up.

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.
