Wishing you a safe, restful and fun-filled summer!

Mission Moment

To provide a quality education, with opportunities and relationships, that cultivates success.

People are the driving force behind every successful organization, bringing vision and purpose to life. It’s not the systems or the structures, but the people within them who create meaningful relationships and a lasting impact.

We would like to send our heartfelt thanks to this year’s retirees, who collectively have dedicated over 450 years of service to MT! We wish them all the best!

Change is Coming!

Our current communication tool, Remind, has been acquired by a new company called ParentSquare, resulting in upcoming changes to communication systems.

ParentSquare is a web-based and app-based platform which will provide a one-stop shop for staff and families. It will replace Remind, OneCall Now, and the District App.

No need to take any steps just yet. Over the summer, you’ll receive an invitation to join ParentSquare via email.

Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare to launch ParentSquare for the next school year!
