This year, make attendance a priority! We want to see every student in class on time every day. Excellent attendance in the first few weeks of school starts good habits that will carry through the school year. Every day counts!
A new school year means new school supplies! Find the supply list for your child’s grade level (K3–8) on our Supply Lists webpage. High school students will receive information regarding classroom supplies from their instructors.
MPS is proud to offer free breakfast and lunch to every student in the district on school days. For more information, visit the MPS Nutrition Services webpage.
Bus information will be mailed to families and should arrive sometime during the week before the first day of class.
We know that families will have questions—please contact your child’s teacher, principal, or school office any time assistance is needed.
We’re looking forward to a great school year!
