Dragon Weekly

This year, MPS has begun learning and using ROOMS - a tool through Apptegy that will allow for better two-way communication between teachers to parents and parents to teachers.

Apptegy has provided an instructional video to assist parents in learning how to use this.

Seniors in Mrs. Christian's College and Career Readiness classes researched careers through the Occupational Outlook Handbook. Students were asked to identify three occupations that they felt they might be interested in pursuing after graduation.

Through this exercise, students learned about:

• What someone does in that occupation.
• What the work environment is like.
• How to become someone in that occupation (i.e. high school diploma, Bachelor's degree, etc)
• What the pay and job outlook are for the occupation.
• Identify 3 similar occupations.

Encourage your students to go by the MHS Library to check out the neat activities that Mrs. Giberson has set up. She is also interested in knowing what books the students would like to see on the shelves.

Mrs. Daniel will be sponsoring FAFSA Work Night on Thursday, October 13, 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM. Taylor Risinger from ATU-Ozark will be on hand to assist parents. Mrs. Christian will have her lab open for parents and seniors to come in to get assistance from Taylor.

The seniors will be setting up their FAFSA id's in Mrs. Christian's class this week.

For those who can't make it on October 13, but would like to have some assistance, please email Mrs. Daniel or Mrs. Christian for Taylor's contact information.

The use of e-cigarettes, or vaping, has increased dramatically in teens in recent years. In fact, according to the CDC’s National Youth Tobacco Survey, 1 in 5 high school students reported the use of vapes. The health effects for teens include coughing and wheezing, behavioral and mood changes, headaches, seizures, vomiting and potential severe lung injury. Vaping also negatively affects teens’ attention, learning, mood and impulse control in a way that can affect them in school, sports and social situations. Get ahead of the game and talk to your kids about vaping and the dangers associated with it.

A group of parents have come together to form the Dragon Athletics Booster Club. If you are interested in joining, please email dragonsathleticboosterclub@gmail.com or contact the organization through the Facebook page - Dragon Athletics Booster Club.
