We also have Fall Picture Day on Wednesday. Below is the information you need to pay in advance.
After-school clubs are gearing up this week and beginning to hold interest meetings. These clubs will take place outside of our Club Day Schedule that begins in November. Announcements will be made throughout the week at school to alert students to interest meetings.

Notes from the Front Desk:
Attendance: If your student has been absent, please use the MPMS absence form located on the school website
and return it to the Front Office via email or have your student turn it in. Alternatively, email your student's Homeroom teacher.
No need to phone as we can only update the attendance record from a written notice.
Student Item Drop Off: Essential forgotten items only. It is not used for dropping off items regularly.
It compromises the security of our building every time we have to unlock the doors!
Leaping Leopards! We would like to extend a HUGE Thank You to all the families that contributed to the Stock the Lounges collection last week! All 3 lounges are overflowing and our staff feels love!
It is not too late to join the MPMS PTSA! The most important reason to join is that it helps your student. As a result, our school thrives!
