The Mustang Memo is a newsletter sent to families of Maple Grove Middle School. It is one of the ways we communicate with families important information of upcoming events and activities. Another way to keep up to date is to look at our website https://mgms.district279.org/. We also communicate with families through email. If you change your email., please update it through ParentVue.

Maple Grove Middle School Families,

As the holiday season approaches, we are wanting to make sure our members of our Mustang community have meals to prepare together. Staff and students will receive more information on Monday during advisory, but we wanted to give caregivers advance notice if they are out and about this weekend. Inspired by "Dollar Tree Dinners", we are asking for a Shelf Stable Turkey Dinner Bag. Please see the attached flyer for more information. Please note that if you have other shelf stable meals and recipes you would like to donate, we will accept them as well for our families. Make sure they are in a plastic zip lock bag with a recipe included. Thank you in advance for your support. If you have any questions or are in need of a meal, please contact Jen Hinker (AP) at hinkerj@district279.org

Get Your Tickets To See The MGMS Fall Play!

This new adaptation of the classic story is a play that uses the ensemble to tell the story of the beloved characters of Oz. The play will run about 50min in length with no intermission. We can't wait to see the seats filled with friends and family to cheer on all our hard work!

Parent Drop-off and Pick-up

If you are driving your child to school or picking them up after school, the drop-off/pick-up area is at the community gyms entrance. Do not use the front entrance, as this is a designated space for our vulnerable student transportation. Please follow the winding line up to the curb by the building. Bright orange cones will help mark the path. Students must be dropped off and picked up AT THE CURB ONLY, and vehicles must stay in a single line. Students are not permitted to walk through the parking lot to and from your vehicle. Your help with this is very much appreciated and will help keep our students safe. Students can start entering the building at 7:45 a.m. so please plan accordingly especially during the cold winter months.

You’re invited to Osseo Area Schools Information Fair

Families are invited to the Osseo Area Schools Information Fair on Saturday, Nov. 15, at Osseo Senior High School. The event runs from 9 a.m. to noon.

The fair gives families the chance to connect with school leaders, explore academic and enrichment programs, learn about enrollment and access Community Education and district resources.

Whether already enrolled, new to the district, or considering future options, families can find resources, ask questions, and discover the wide range of opportunities available across Osseo Area Schools.
