UPDATES:
First Day of School/Parent Drop Off: All students should bring their schedules and report to their 9th-period class upon entering the building. If they do not have a schedule, they need to report to the office. If you are dropping off your child, the doors open at approximately 7:12. All students must be in their class by 7:30 a.m. Staff members will be outside and inside to direct all students.
Food Service: The Free Breakfast/Lunch option that Ohio schools participated in during the past two school years has expired. The school district will resume charging students for school breakfast and lunch. Families will need to apply for Free/Reduced lunch if they believe they qualify. For questions regarding our Food Service program, please contact Deanna Park at 740-335-3010.
Student Medication: Any student that will be taking medication at school (over-the-counter or prescription) will need to have proper documentation on file in the school clinic. In addition, parents will need to provide the medication directly to the school nurse (Tylenol, Ibuprofen, etc., will not be provided by the school clinic). This can be done beginning on Thursday, August 11th, and can take place any time during operational hours after that date. The school nurse will be present during Open House for this process as well.
"Excellent" Attendance: MTMS will no longer recognize perfect attendance. Beginning this year, we will be recognizing students with "Excellent" attendance on a quarterly basis. Excellent attendance can be earned by students missing 8 hours or less per quarter. More details on this award will be coming.
Personal Appearance/Dress Code: Please take the time to read the updated dress code in the MTMS handbook. You signed off on this document when registering or re-registering your child in Final Forms.
Tardies to School: Please take the time to read the updated tardy policy in the MTMS handbook. You signed off on this document when registering or re-registering your child in Final Forms. Students will receive consequences for multiple unexcused tardies to school.
MTMS Dismissal: Parent pick-up students will be dismissed after announcements at approximately 2:24 p.m., at the end of the day. After this, bus students will be dismissed around 2:26 p.m. Finally, students who walk to another building on campus, or participate in an extracurricular activity, will be dismissed around 2:35 p.m.
