IMPORTANT: REVIEW THE MPS VISITOR POLICY

January 28, 2025 | News

MPS welcomes families in our buildings. To maintain a safe, productive learning environment, we
have policies to ensure visits do not interrupt teaching and learning during the school day.
When family members are visiting a school, please remember that:
• Families are always welcome to observe their child’s classroom.
• A staff member must accompany any tour or visit to a classroom during instructional
time.
• Staff must stay with the visitor to escort them back to the office once the observation concludes.
• Family members looking to meet with staff must schedule meetings in advance.
• Meetings should occur during non-instructional time to avoid disruptions to the school day.
• During meetings, conferences, and classroom visits, each student may have TWO visitors present, unless
additional visitors are approved in advance. The school leader, or a designee, must approve any additional
visitors.
• Meetings with families should be scheduled to take place in the office or another designated space that will not
interfere with school activities.
• Visitors must always be accompanied by the school leader, or a designee, while touring a school.
• When dropping off items at school, students will be called to the office to meet visitors.
