FOOD RIGHT MAPLE TAPPING
Our Lower Elementary students recently had a lesson with Food Right on how to tap maple trees. 3rd grade grade students tapped the trees and 1st-3rd grade students collected the sap. Classrooms will boil down the sap in the future and everyone will get a taste.
Spring Elementary and Middle School Athletics
Interest forms will go home to students soon.
*Middle School students must be eligible to play sports based on academics and effort/behavior. We will determine if students are eligible, based on their Report Card.
!!!! 4th and 5th grade families, we are still in need of a soccer coach for the spring season. If we do not find a coach we will not be able to have a team.
Please contact Ms. Claudine if you are interested. Thank you!

6th-8th grade coed soccer (practice on Wednesdays)
5th – 8th grade track and field (practice Tuesdays & Thursday)

The following is a list of start dates, locations, coaches, and contact information for high school spring sports. It is imperative that all registration is taken care of BEFORE the season starts so that the athlete is cleared to play on the FIRST day of practice.

ACT INFORMATION
2023 PreACT District Testing Day March 22
MPS high schools will administer the state-required PreACT to grades 9 and 10 students on Wednesday, March 22, 2023. On this date, only freshmen and sophomores will be in attendance. Juniors and seniors will not report to school on this date but will engage in asynchronous work. Multi-grade schools on the early start calendar (e.g., K–12, 3–12, 6–12) will have regular attendance for students not in grades 11 or 12. Students should arrive at school at their regular start time to allow testing to be completed in a timely manner.
