Notes for the week:

We are so excited to welcome in February, Kindness Month! Our Capturing Kids' Hearts Theme of the month will be seen in a lot of ways in our building. We will be focusing on students giving each other affirmations and treating one another with kindness and respect. Our Kindness Spirit Days begin next Tuesday and is posted below. Remember that we have one remaining professional development day for our staff on Monday, February 9th which means no school for students.

Our district Peacemaking ceremony is Monday night! If your student was nominated for a Peacemaking Award, please note that the ceremony was rescheduled for Monday, February 2nd at 6PM in the high school gymnasium.

Thank you for your continued support of our district attendance: Show Your Oiler Pride, Strive for Five, which sets a goal of 5 absences or fewer from January to June! We know illness happens, but we want and need our Oilers at school. Remember: students can enter the building starting at 7:25 and have plenty of time to get breakfast and make it to class by 7:40. If transportation is a concern, please call the front office. We are happy to assist!

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.
