Any time the temperature is above 0 degrees, we will have outdoor recess. Please be sure your child comes to school with a warm jacket, boots, snowpants, hat and gloves. If providing any of these items may cause a hardship on your family, please contact our school counselor.

As quoted in our handbook,

"What are the cold weather guidelines when school is in session?

When either the air temperature or wind chill is 0 degrees Fahrenheit or colder according to Weather.com, all students shall be permitted to enter the building upon arrival to school. Students will also be kept indoors during recess periods and physical education in grades PK-5 when air or wind chill temperatures are 0 degrees Fahrenheit or colder. All walking field trips will be postponed and bus transportation will need to be provided."

Mr. David is looking for any video footage of the Winter Concert. If you have any clips or the entire program recorded and wouldn't mind sharing, he would be very grateful! You can email it to him at Jeff.David@mp.k12.wi.us. Thank you in advance.

Prescription medication shall be given to students by school district personnel with written orders from a healthcare provider and with parent permission. Non prescription medication will be administered to students with written parent/guardian permission. Parents must deliver medication to school in the original container. We will do everything possible to ease symptoms without medication, and if are unable to do so, parents will be contacted so they may pick up their children to take them home.

If any questions please feel free to contact the school nurse at 987-0733

Lunch Express is a payment program that allows for online payments for school lunches. This is made possible by using e-funds.

The student ID number for e-funds is the "Other ID" in the general information of Skyward Family Access. This ID is located under your childs picture. Skyward Family Access is located under the "Quick links" tab on our school website .

The family number in e-funds is NOT the “Family ID” in Skyward, but is your “Phone” number in the contact information of Skyward Family Access (without area code or dashes). For example, if the families phone number in Skyward is (608) 987-1234, then the family number is 9871234.
