Notes for the week:
We finish up all of our state and district testing this week with the Math NWEA. Then it's just a couple of weeks before final exams. Keep a close eye on your student's team WAG below in order to keep up with important due dates, end of the year events and opportunities.
Be on the lookout for our end of the year CKH Family Survey. We want your feedback, it helps us grow. A link will be sent mid week and we appreciate you taking the time to answer a few short questions. Our focus on integrity continues this week, along with another lesson on mental health from our amazing counselors.
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.
Weekly Launch:
"Integrity is choosing your thoughts and actions based on values rather than personal gain."

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.
