Maple Grove Families:

We encourage all families to prepare in advance to pick their child up early from school by sending a note to bring to student services and receive an early dismissal pass. If you do have an unplanned pick-up, please be to the main office by 2:30 to guarantee we are able to get your child from class.

Thank you!

Over 90 students are involved in the spring musical! They have been working hard onstage and backstage to put together a hilariously fantastic show you won't want to miss. Check out the MGMS Theater website https://sites.google.com/apps.district279.org/mgmstheater/home for more info about the show.

Get your tickets ahead of time at https://mgms.seatyourself.biz or at the door (cash only)

The MGMS Closet is a place for student in need to get clothes, school supplies and hygiene items. The Closet is supplied by donations. We are in need of sweat/athletic pants, men's M, L, XL. If you clean out your closets and have clean clothes in good condition and are looking for a place to donate, please consider the Closet by dropping off items in the front office during school hours. (Socks and underwear must be new/unused). We also have a wish list, please click Here or https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/37MI274614ZSR?ref_=wl_share

All donations are greatly appreciated. If your child wants to access The Closet, please have them speak to their school counselor or social worker.

The purpose of this communication is to inform you that students in grades 2-12 will take the mySAEBRS assessment this fall and again this spring. The mySAEBRS assessment, which stands for Minnesota Student Academic Behavioral Rating Scales, is student self-evaluation. It provides valuable insights into areas such as social skills, emotional well-being, and behavioral strengths and challenges. This assessment helps us gain a more comprehensive understanding of your child's needs, allowing us to better support their growth and development. For more information about assessment items and questions asked click here. If you would like to opt your child out of this assessment, please complete the Parent/Guardian Refusal for Student Participation in Districtwide Assessments/Testing linked on https://www.district279.org/academics/assessments.
