With Halloween just a few days away, we are providing the following guidelines for costumes.
We encourage students to celebrate Halloween with costumes that are safe and respectful to all. Please be aware that students may be asked to change if they do not follow these guidelines.
- Costumes must to be respectful and must not emphasize negative stereotypes of any person, gender, or ethnicity. Cultural sensitivity is required.
- Costumes cannot include a mask that covers the entire face. We want to be sure we can see all of our students.
- Fake weapons of any type are not permitted.
- Avoid adult-oriented costumes and costumes that could be deemed offensive.
Marking Period 2 Progress Reports for MHS classes are available in Infinite Campus. Students earned an "S" if they are making satisfactory progress toward earning full credit with a C or higher. A progress grade of "US" indicates that your student is not making satisfactory progress. Please contact your student's teachers or counselor for support. There is still time to earn full credit for Marking Period 2!
Please, also check Infinite Campus to see progress report grades for PHS classes.

We are entering our last week of October with some fun themed events for the week (see pic). And of course MHS students love to celebrate Halloween! Looking forward to seeing you all in costume and being a part of the MHS Staff themed costume!
As a quick reminder, Marking Period 2 grades close this week. I highly recommend students/parents look at Schoology together and create a list of work that needs to be done. We had a number of students undercredited MP1 and we hope that number goes down for MP2. Falcon Hour is Monday and Tuesday after school and there are peer tutors during Academy. Please utilize the supports available and please check-in with your teachers.
Lastly, there are about 7 college rep visits between Monday and November 15th. Please sign up through Naviance.
And Seniors, I’m here to help you whether I’m at MHS or PHS. Please email me and we can set up an appointment.
Have a great Halloween Week!

Regular attendance and classroom participation are essential to the educational process at MHS. Missing class presentations, discussions, lectures, demonstrations and laboratories can be detrimental to student achievement, grades, credit accumulation and the progress of the class itself.
Reporting and Excusing an Absence
When a student is absent, it is required that the parent/guardian either phone the Attendance Office recorder (510-594-2889) or send a note explaining the reason for the absence. If an absence is cleared by phone, it is not necessary to follow up with a note. Only the signatures of the parent(s)/guardian(s) on the student emergency card are permitted on notes. Please provide the following information: first and last name of the student, name of parent, date of absence, the specific classes missed, and the reason for the absence. Parents/Guardians must excuse their student’s absence within three days of the time they return. If an absence is not cleared within that time, the absence will be marked as unexcused. Students are not permitted to excuse themselves on the recorder or by note. Students who miss three or more days of school in succession must present a doctor’s note, if the absences are due to illness.
Please be aware of many important dates are coming for seniors. Bookmark the Road to Graduation document as it will be updated throughout the year.

Last year, 83% of TK parents participated and won a candy and bubble party. Who will win this year?
