Opt-out Information & Universal Screening Opt-out Information & Universal Screening

The purpose of this communication is to inform you that students in grades 2-12 will take the mySAEBRS assessment this fall and again this spring. The mySAEBRS assessment, which stands for Minnesota Student Academic Behavioral Rating Scales, is student self-evaluation. It provides valuable insights into areas such as social skills, emotional well-being, and behavioral strengths and challenges. This assessment helps us gain a more comprehensive understanding of your child's needs, allowing us to better support their growth and development. For more information about assessment items and questions asked click here. If you would like to opt your child out of this assessment, please complete the Parent/Guardian Refusal for Student Participation in Districtwide Assessments/Testing linked on https://www.district279.org/academics/assessments.

Event Information and Volunteer Opportunities


Winter Wear Drive

The Winter Wear Drive is less than two weeks away! From November 11 - 15, PACT and the student WEB (Where Everybody Belongs) group are asking for donations of new and used coats and other cold weather gear. The highest priority needs are winter boots sizes 2-8 and snow pants in both kids and young adult sizes. There will be drop off points at the school as well at other community locations.


Mustang Donuts

Mustang Donuts are back! Students will have the opportunity to purchase donuts during school on select days. The first Mustang Donut day of the year is Thursday, November 14! $2/donut; cash only.


Volunteers are welcome and appreciated throughout the year! Check out an overview of events for this school year, and pledge your support today!


Advocacy

Learn about ISD 279’s 2024-2025 legislative priorities and contact your legislators to ask them to support the priorities you’re passionate about.


PACT Meetings

One of the best ways for parents and caregivers to know what’s going on at MGMS and positively affect the school is to attend a PACT meeting. PACT Meetings are held once a month (except March and December) from 7:00–8:00 pm. 2024 meeting dates are posted on the website. There is always an online attendance option; some meetings also occur in person.
