We are officially wrapping up Trimester 1 and LAUNCHING into Trimester 2. Students will spend time at the beginning of the week reviewing content for their exams and then take them at the end of the week. All assignments will be due so that final grades can be recorded and stored. Make sure you are communicating with individual teachers regarding their late work policies. Most importantly, we want students at school and participating in the reviews their teachers have prepared. Everything they need to be successful will be shared with them.

Fundraiser and Cold Weather - our students need helpful reminders.

Our fundraiser went live Friday; we have many students registered but many have not raised any funds. Please help your student add contacts to their profile OR share the link to their donation calendar on social media. Our goals if for each student to raise at least $20 but more than that just increases the amazing things we are able to do and provide.

Cold weather and teenagers do not mix! We have many students coming ill prepared for chilly weather and they ARE going outside for at least 20 minutes each day. Please encourage your student to come with a coat, hat, gloves and appropriate footwear!

At Mt. Pleasant Public Schools, all of our schools use the Capturing Kids’ Hearts (CKH) process to build strong relationships, create a positive school culture, and ensure every student feels connected, valued, and supported. Through CKH strategies—like Greetings, Good Things, Social Contracts, and Launches—we work to create classrooms and school communities where students thrive both academically and socially.

As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we invite you to share your thoughts in the CKH Family Survey. Your feedback helps us understand how our CKH practices are experienced by families and how they impact students’ connections and sense of belonging.

We truly value your voice! Your input helps us celebrate what’s going well and identify ways to keep growing together as a district family. Take the survey here: CKH FAMILY SURVEY

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.
