Notes for the week:
Reminder that there is NO SCHOOL for student tomorrow, 2/9/26 due to staff professional development.
Mt. Pleasant Public Schools is celebrating Kindness Week! See below for some fun spirit days. Students will continue with kindness activities in the coming weeks as we continue with our CKH character theme for the month of February. See below for more information about this important trait and how we can all put it into action.
We appreciate you reporting student illness to us; our district is closely monitoring these numbers for safety. Important information about illness and school attendance can be found here, on Facebook and on the district website. Thank you for making regular attendance a priority for your student.

CAPTURING KIDS' HEARTS
A MESSAGE FROM YSU
Your Reputation
Your reputation is built daily by how you treat people, how you conduct yourself, and by your choices. The older we get, the more our reputation builds and it can be both hard and time consuming to change. I encourage you to think about the kind of reputation you want and ensure the choices you make line up.
Stay safe!

TRAVELING STUDENT INFO
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.
