MMS Update

Greetings MMS Families,

We want to wish the best of luck to all of our athletes as they begin their postseason runs this week! Our winter seasons were an incredible experience, highlighted by tremendous growth and effort from our student-athletes. We especially want to wish our D-I Girls, D-V Boys, and D-V Girls Basketball teams the best of luck in their playoff games this week, along with our wrestlers as they compete in the Tri-County Championships on Sunday. We would also like to extend a sincere thank-you to our 8th grade athletes for their leadership, commitment, and dedication to their MMS teams throughout the season.

Thank you all for your support, have a great week!

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.
