A JOURNEY THROUGH INDEPENDENCE

Pointer Families & Staff -- please check your email for a survey link sent Friday afternoon regarding reopening efforts. We are looking for your feedback prior to 9 pm Tuesday, September 22 to be compiled prior to the next Reopening Ad Hoc Committee meeting Thursday, September 24. We are asking for one response per student per family (if possible). If not one parent/guardian of your student(s) received the email, please contact joelle.doye@mp.k12.wi.us with the name(s) of your student(s) who are enrolled in #PointerNation. Thank you!

As noted in our updated fall sports schedules, Homecoming 2020 has been postponed TBA and will not take place September 21-25 (the football game on the 25th is now at Dodgeville). Stay tuned for updates.

Meal Program Expanded: We are now able to offer free breakfast and lunch to all children within the school district, from birth to age 18 (previously it was for school-aged children only). If your family would like to participate please sign-up using the google link below. If you have previously signed-up there is no need to register again.

Families who elect to participate but do not have children in school, or families who are enrolled 100% virtually, should plan to pick up their meals outside of the high school building on Wednesdays from 9:00-11:00 am (please note time change).

Any questions, please contact taherfoodservices@mp.k12.wi.us
