Principal Message, October 11, 2020
Good evening Leopards,
Thank you to everyone who participated in our first Virtual Spirit Week of the year. It was great to see students and staff show school spirit.
This past week families who opted to return under Plan B received an email through School Messenger designating their Cohort assignment. If you did not receive this email and don’t know your Cohort assignment, please send an email to mpmstech@wcpss.net.
Please know that we are working closely with the feeder schools and transportation to ensure the cohorts are balanced. If there are mistakes or adjustments that need to be made, an MPMS staff member will contact you. Take a moment to view the calendar. Cohort 3 will be the first to arrive on campus Monday November 9th.
School Picture Days are coming soon!
Lifetouch will be at our school on October 14th and 15th. Why are school pictures important?
- School pictures preserve memories that last a lifetime
- For safety and security purposes, is very important for your school to have the most recent image of your child uploaded to their student information system
- Each year students look forward to being included in the yearbook
Please click on the links to schedule an appointment (required) and to place your order.
