Notes for the week:

We've turned the calendar to May and it's going to be a busy month! Keep track of all the important date here, via the team WAGs below and on our Facebook page.


This month our Capturing Kids' Hearts theme is Integrity and we look forward to talking to our students about how their character and values keeps our school community strong. In addition, our counselors will help us recognize Mental Health Awareness Month by leading us through lessons and proactive circle discussion related to the topic.


Make sure you get those permission slips turned in! Teams have distributed and emailed end of the year forms for 8th grade celebration, WEB day, 8th grade exchange, Miles for Miracles and the grade level field trips planned for May 22nd. Any student who receives a suspension from May 1-May 21st will be unable to participate in the May 22nd activities.


Thank you for supporting your student and our school. Please reach out if you have any questions!


Weekly Launch:

"Integrity gives you real freedom because you have nothing to fear since you have nothing to hide "

MPMS Accelerated Math Program and MPMS French Students Attendance on Days with an Irregular Schedule

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.
